Hi,
  Here is how I define the prompt,

export PS1=`echo ${HOST}`":"`echo $cwd|sed -e "s/^.*tmp_mnt//" -e
"s/^.*users*/\/user/" -e "s/^.*${USER}\/*//"`">"

  This is very good in that the prompt updates when I change directory.

  But now I find that this does not work when I use "pushd" and "popd"
commands. After the "popd" command, prompt does not update.

  Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks.
