Yu should have told us which shell you use.
If you use bash, zsh or tcsh, RTFM.
In csh, you can put this into you .cshrc:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
alias SetPrompt 'set prompt="${myhost} [`pwd2`]-\\!% "'
alias cd 'cd \!* && SetPrompt'
alias cdl 'cd \!*; ls'
alias popd 'popd \!* && SetPrompt'
alias pushd 'pushd \!* && SetPrompt'
