Hello there,

I have a question about setting up my prompt in UNIX.  In DOS you can a:
PROMPT $P$G
and it will automaticaly change my prompt when I change to a new directory.

I would like to know how to do this same command in UNIX.  I have tried 
alias {but no good man pages}.  Could someone out there please help me.
