Can some one tell me what I need to do to show the working directory in the command prompt? Thanks for your help.
 
I am sorry if I wasn't clear. What I want is to show working directory automatically in the prompt itself. e.g.

[darwin]~/Library/Personal% cd Pictures

[darwin]~/Library/Personal/Pictures%
 
Whoops. Reading over this again, I realised I probably answered the wrong question.

Look here for bash and sh variants,
and here for tcsh and csh variants

Hope _this_ helps :)

thanks alex. i was able to set my prompt to show current directory with help from the threads you pointed me to.

I have another question. how can i set my arrow keys so that when i press the up-key, it shows the last command i typed? at present when i press the up-key it prints funny characters (^[[A). Thanks for your help.
