Hello, I'd like to change my shell prompt to wear it displays my pwd followed by an # or whatever, I don't really care about anything besides getting the pwd. I've tried several different PS1="try" PS1="try again" PS1="try again and again" and it lists the pwd of when I log in, but it doesn't change dynamically as I cd around my system. It just stays the same. I'm using just 'sh' not 'bash or ksh or csh' And the PS1 line I was editing is in my home directory's '.shrc' file. I've read that this shell uses the '.profile' file, but '.profile' points the shell to my '.shrc' file. If anyone could tell me the correct syntax to make it list my pwd I'd appreciate it. Thank You.
