How's this: 	(I know it's busy, but I've really gotten used to it.)

set uid=`whoami` 
set host=`hostname`
set prompt="\
${uid}@${host}      [pwd = `pwd`]\
[\!]: "
alias       cd      'chdir \!* ; set prompt="\\
${uid}@${host}      [pwd = `pwd`]\\
[\\!]: "'
alias       pushd   'pushd \!* ; set prompt="\\
${uid}@${host}      [pwd = `pwd`]\\
[\\!]: "'
alias       popd    'popd \!* ; set prompt="\\
${uid}@${host}      [pwd = `pwd`]\\
[\\!]: "'
