I have a (hopefully) simple question. How can you get the UNIX prompt
to always reflect the path to the current directory. Such a prompt
would change with each 'cd ' command. In MS-DOS this is done by the
command : 'prompt $P'. I think this would be most helpful, as
otherwise, the prompt string is quite useless.
