How do you get the command line to show pwd ?

How do you get the command line prompt to allways show your pwd ?

So that each time you change to a new dir. it will be listed at the command promt ?

Thanks

for ksh, do something like that:
export PS1="[\t \$LOGNAME@$(hostname):\$PWD] " vlad

even more fun put this in your .kshrc:

CD1(){
x=$1
cd $x
PS1=$(basename $(dirname $PWD))/$(basename $PWD)
if [ -d /$PS1 ] ;then
PS1=$PWD
else
PS1=.../$PS1
fi
PS1=&quot;[$(hostname):$PS1]# &quot;
}
alias cd='CD1'
