You have the right idea but as far as I know you will have to set an alias
for "cd" also:
cd cd !*; set prompt = "${OSTYPE}:`uname -n`:`pwd` > "
OSTYPE is just a variable we use at our site....

Hello,
try the following stuff in your .cshrc
alias setdirinfo 'set Wd=$cwd:h;set dirinfo="$P$Wd:t/$cwd:t";unset Wd'
alias setprompt 'set prompt="[$dirinfo] <\\!> "'
alias xheader 'echo -n ""' # sets window title
alias xiheader 'echo -n ""' # sets icon label
alias cd 'chdir \!*; setdirinfo; setprompt; xheader " ${host}: $cwd "; xiheader " ${host} "'
cd .

This will no work in the bourne shell.
Use the korn shell :
PS1="`uname -n`.\$PWD: "
export PS1

For csh you just need to alias cd to change directory and set the prompt.
alias cd 'cd "\!:1*"; set prompt="`pwd`:"'

This is fragment from my .cshrc file:
alias cd 'set old=$cwd; chdir \!*; set prompt="#"$user":"$cwd"> "'
set prompt="#"$user":"$cwd"> "
When you try to cahnge directory with cd command - it will be change
$prompt variable for new directory name.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try this:-
'cd \!*;set prompt="$user@$host `basename $cwd` % "'
than do:-
alias pwd 'echo $cwd'
Put both of these in your .cshrc file. Someone else may come up with
something better.... :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add also an alias to the "cd" command to update the prompt..
Or use those 2 alias and the current working directory will appear in the
top of your cmdtool in openwin...
> alias cd 'cd \!:* && echo -n "^[]l [`hostname`] `echo $cwd` ^[\"'
> alias pwd 'pwd \!:* && echo -n "^[]l [`hostname`] `echo $cwd` ^[\"'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
set an alias:
cd cd !*; set prompt="`whoami`-`hostname`:`pwd`> "
