prompt

  cpu% cp $home/lib/profile $home/lib/profile.bak

#	Examples
1	To set your prompt in rc to reflect your current directory add this to your profile.
a	fn cd { builtin cd $* && prompt=(`{pwd}^% '' ) }
2	If you make frequent use of cpu's -`h` and `-u` arguments, this variant keeps track of the host you are connected to, and as which user:
a	prompt = (`{cat /dev/user}^@^`{cat /dev/sysname}^'% ' ' ')
b	fn `{echo $prompt(1) \| tr -d ' '} { $* }

Example #1:

cpu% lc profile.edit
profile.edit
cpu% sam -d profile.edit
 -. profile.edit
/fn
fn
	fn term%{ $* }
/fn
fn
	fn cpu%{ $* }
s/cpu%{ \$\*/cd { builtin cd $* \&\& prompt=(`{pwd}^% '' )

	fn cd { builtin cd $* && prompt=(`{pwd}^% '' ) }
