In tch I use this prompt (which also has some colors taht I cannot
reproduce here):

user@short_hostname> current_path [current_time] last_command_exit_code
_#_

itetcu@it> /usr/ports/converters/php4-recode [20:35:57] 0                                         
_ #_

which is done by adding this two lines in ~/.cshrc
        set prompt = "%S%n@`hostname -s`> %{\e[0;31m%}%/%{\e[0m%} [%P] %{\e[1;36m%}%?%{\e[0m%}
                                   %s\n%B%U %{\e[0;31m%}#%{\e[0m%} %u%b"
