I'm using the directions here to customize my CSH prompt. Here's what I'm using:
set prompt="\n%{\033[1;32m%}%m %{\033[36m%}${cwd}$ %{\033[0m%} " First of all, the ${cwd} part isn't giving the full path to the directory I'm in, only the full path to the directory I'm in when .cshrc was sourced. How do I display the current directory?
Secondly, if I don't include the space at the end of the string the color of the text I type is changed to the color of the directory from the previous part. Is there anyway to do this without adding the space?

The following code solved both of my problems.
set prompt="\n%{\033[0;32m%}%n@%m:%{\033[0;33m%}%~%{\033[1;30m%}>%{\033\[1;37m%} " In C Shell, add the following lines to your .cshrc:
make a command doprompt that sets the prompt to the working directory
alias doprompt 'set prompt="`pwd` "' set the prompt the first time around
doprompt alias the cd command to change directories and reset the prompt
alias cd 'chdir !* || doprompt'
