It is possible, but since i don't know what machine or os or version you're
running on (the only article i saw was a reply with NO included lines).
Here, (ksh on sysv.3) PS1="`pwd` !$"; export PS1  will do the trick.  will look
like: /usr2/auug/johnk 5$ Pnews ; or whatever.  I could even do something
like:
PS1="`cat $HOME/.signature` What?? "
and that would work, but it would be quite cumbersome and why would i want
my signature file in my prompt anyway?? :-)
