you can put this into your /etc/csh.login file

alias setprompt 'set prompt="promptname:${cwd}>"'
setprompt
alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt'
alias chdir 'chdir \!* && setprompt'

well if you do it like this then you will have a prompt like this
when you are in /etc directory

promptname:/etc>

or I guess you can put this is .login file...
