I use this little hack in my .cshrc to give me easily modified prompts.
This one give you a machine name as well as present directory referenced 
from users home directory.

if ($?prompt) then
	# An interactive shell -- set some stuff up
	set mch = `hostname -s`
	alias prompt 'set noglob;\\
	set prompt = `dirs`;\\
	set prompt = "${mch}:{!}:${prompt[1]}>";\\
	unset noglob'
	alias popd 'popd \!*; prompt'
	alias pushd 'pushd \!*; prompt'
