You can set the prompt in your .login file, in which case only your login shell has a custom prompt. This fix is OK for those (like me) who do most of their work in the login shell. It has the advantage of making your .cshrc file faster, which results in faster shell escapes and faster execution of csh scripts. Not only that, you can tell the difference between the login shell and subshells. Bill Tuthill
