	You can set your prompt, but it won't update when you move around.
To get this, you need to change 'cd' (and popd and pushd) to reevaluate your
$prompt variable everytime you move somewhere.  Use this line to do that:

	alias cd 'chdir \!* ; set prompt = "\! $cwd -> " ; ls -FC'

This one also does an ls after cd'ing there.

	Modify to suit.
