Here is a function to set the prompt to the current directory.  Very nice
if you tend to get lost easily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
function fancy_cd
{
	if [ $# -ne 0 ]
	then
		cd $*
	else
		cd
	fi
	PS1="${PWD} "
}
alias cd=fancy_cd
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The function MUST be defined before the alias.
