Here is a question for the VMS wizards out there.

I have screwed around with the SET PROMPT= command, but I cannot get
the DCL prompt to reflect the current working directory.
For example, if I was in the directory DISK1:[CSAM2350.CSAM0004],
I want the prompt to be 'CSAM0004 >". If I pop back up a level to
DISK1:[CSAM2350], I would like the prompt to switch to 'CSAM2350 >'
Any ideas out there?  I'm sure that someone out there has done this.


PLEASE SEND REPLYS TO       seeley@dalcsug.UUCP
	OR                  csam0004@dal1


					Thanks in advance,
