The first thing I do, after I've installed a new system (just before I
copy over the ssh data) is to copy my .cshrc to my home dir. What's so
important? I really like the two statements, which I show below, which
give me my prompt:
set prompt="%m:%{^[[34m%}`id -nu`%{^[[0m%}:%~:%{^[[31m#%h^[[0m%}%#"
alias cd 'cd \!*;set prompt="%m%{^[[32m%}:`id
-nu`%{^[[0m%}:%~:%{^[[31m#%h^[[0m%}%#"'
My mailer is adding carriage returns to the cd line, maybe even to the
prompt line, live with it.
Any chance that something so basic as this, that improves things so
awfully much, could be added to the .tcshrc? If the idea is liked well
enough, I will edit it enough so that the special use of prompt strings
that are specific to tcsh is made conditional.
