I have tried things like (from the top of my head) : set prompt = "$cwd -> " this sets the prompt to the directory I'm currently in but doesn't change when I move to a different directory ! Please help, and if you can, also send your reply to me through e-mail. Thanks!! My e-mail address is : s795238@dutiwy.twi.tudelft.nl Ciao, Menno
