Setting the prompt variable

You can customise the prompt so that it displays your current working directory, username on the system and the name of the system; or any combination of these.

How this is done varies according to the shell you are using.

• C shell (csh)
• Korn shell (ksh)
• TC shell (tcsh)
• BASH (bash)
