I'm doing some script writing rather deep in my directory
tree, so I'm always looking at a prompt like:

  (/export/home/badger/spyder/kermit/ck7/) C-Kermit>

which hardly leaves space for my commands w/o wrapping.  I don't
see in the book or documentation how I truncate the current
directory listing, but I hope there is.  I'd be happy with;
  (ck7) C-Kermit>



Thanks,

Peter
