	This is what I've got in my .tcshrc file right now.  m = machine
	(the hostname), h = history number (how many commands), t = time
	in a.m. and p.m. style, the ~ substitutes for /usr/home/andrsn,
	and the # makes the prompt switch from > to # if I su (aliased
	to su -m) to root.  You can of course change the order.

	set prompt = "%m %h %t %~ %# "
