To put the current directory into your prompt, you don't need tcsh.

Just:
alias cd 'cd \!*; set prompt="$host `pwd` > '

The `pwd` part is the important one here.

Now, true, this gets confused with pushd and popd, but you can alias them too
(well, popd might prove a wee bit difficult -- perhaps alias popd 'popd ; cd
.' would do the trick).

tcsh is nice, yes, but NeXT's csh isn't as braindead as most people think.
[btw, those aliases work on any csh as far as I know]
