[Re: the Organization: line above -- say who?  --The "strain_home" alias has a
small problem:  what happens if user "smith" cd's to /u/smith2?  I usually use
a C version which I call "cpwd".  ++bsa]

alias strain_home       'sed "s?$home?~?"'

alias cd        'cd \!*;set prompt="{`(pwd|strain_home)`} "'
alias pushd     'pushd \!*;set prompt="{`(pwd|strain_home)`} "'
alias popd      'popd \!*;set prompt="{`(pwd|strain_home)`} "'

set prompt="{`pwd|strain_home`} "

I don't need to see the path to my home directory.
