At the bash prompt:
$ PS1=”w u–> ”
This will solve the problem you mentioned previously, as you’ll notice. No more…you’ll always know what directory you’re in.
No more “print working directory” every time you come back to the terminal…
*chuckle* … I’m gonna have to fix that… it turns > < signs to HTML...
That will basically give you an old-school C prompt, including whatever directory you happen to be in. Sorry about the jargon.
