I have been trying to figure out how to set my prompt for weeks but i just dont know the syntax. if i use the shell sh and i want my prompt to be something like hostname currentpath > IE: dopey /usr/local/etc > what do i edit and what do i put in there.??? tried various stuff in .login, .cshrc and .profile such as "`hostname` %l > " but it never changes from the $ prompt. looking at the handbook nothing seems to work. help anyone?
