Hi...

I've been reading a Linux shell tutorial and the man pages. ;)
Searched the mailing list for, and found examples of, prompts with
various shells.

In my ~/.cshrc file:

set prompt = "' hostname -s'# "

works. Why doesn't the following?

set prompt = "'whoami'@'hostname -s':$cwd# "

I keep getting for example:

'whoami'@'hostname':/etc# _

TIA............duke

later..........duke
