Csh prompt problem

(I wrote in a previous article about how I keep the current directory
 in my prompt and if I cd into a directory named * I get a wildcard
 expanded prompt.)

I worked on this for about 45 mins several days ago and, believe it or not,
silly me thought of the answer about 2 hours after I posted.  Oops.
Anyhow, if I do

alias cd "set noglob; chdir \!*; prom; unset noglob"

It works.  It has to be chdir by the way.  If it's cd then the csh thinks
it's an Alias Loop.
