Csh prompt problem

[Paul English]

Since this type of thing usually makes your prompt so long that you
usually tend to ignore it, why have it there in the first place? If
you really need an easy way of reminding yourself where you are, you
could do something like the following to make it easy to get this info
on demand:

    alias . echo `hostname`: `dirs`

Of course if you are running under a decent windowing system, you
should have this info in your window header. This is also an easy (and
documented in many places) thing to do.
