I have a couple of suggestions: 1) install the pd-ksh port so you have ksh. 2) if you want to use tcsh, use a statement that looks something like this: set prompt = "${mch:q}:{%/}% " This gives you a prompt that looks something like this: narcissus:{/home/ben}% Edit to taste -- it's the %/ part that gives the current working directory. > Question 2: After installing the system I created > a user, me.
