How to display hostname on dtterm?

[aixquest]

Are there anyway to edit $HOME/.profile to display hostname whenever open dtterm?

Your help is appreciated...

This line is from my .profile
export PS1=`whoami`'@'`hostname`['$PWD']

This seemed to work part of it if I entered from the shell. If the line entered in the /.profile and logged out, then logged back in, it didn't seem to work. I have "root" permission to log into the server, does this mean this needs to be in a different .profile file?

Thanks.

This is what I have in all .profiles:

ENV=$HOME/.kshrc
export ENV

Then in .kshrc in the home directory of the user, I have

export HOST=`/usr/bin/uname -n`
export USER=`/usr/bin/id -nur`
export PS1='$USER@$HOST: $PWD >'

Note the difference in the single quotes in these statements.

This results in:

root@mycomputer: / >
The info after the : changes whenever I change directory.

Thanks for your help. I was able to get it to work by uncomment one line in /.dtprofile for .profile to activate when log in.
