   I missed the discussion on this topic, but I had a friend who inquired
about this.  I did work out a solution for csh using the change directory
command.  I put the following in my .cshrc file:

alias cd 'cd \!* ; set prompt="`pwd`> "'

so that every time I change directories the prompt will be updated.
Realize, this is slow, but it pleased a friend of mine who uses PCs every
day.
