Here is some Korn Shell code in my .envfile which sets up my prompt
to set the title to hostname followed by cwd; easily converted for
other shells.

	PS1="$(hostname) "'${PWD}'
	if [[ $(whoami) = root ]]
	then PEND='!#'
	else PEND='!$'
	fi
	if [[ ${TERM} = xterm ]]
	then PS1="];${PS1}${PEND}"
	else PS1="${PS1} ${PEND}"
	fi

The only problem with this is that my console window no longer says CONSOLE.
Does anyone know (under SUNOS) how to determine if a window is currently
the console window?
