For example,
cd /tmp
/tmp>
cd /opt
/opt>
cd /usr/bin
/usr/bin>
etc.
In other words I want something like export PS1=`pwd` with every
execution of cd.
Anyone with any information, please help.

Willy

Korn shell is easy. For Korn shell put the following in your .profile orQuote:> Is it possible to change the prompt to new present directory when the

PS1='($PWD)$'
Remember to export PS1. $PWD is a shell variable that is equal to the
present working directory.
C shell uses the same variable, but the files and syntax are different.
I think that Bourne shell requires that you alias the cd command.
Check Google in comp.unix.shell. There are several postings that answer
your question.

The advantage here is that the very long path names don't shrink the
command line input area.
