displaying the path in the command line

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to ammend the .cshrc file in $HOME for your session to display the path as part of the command line? So that I dont need to keep on typing pwd to see where I am?

thanks

Code:
PS1='$PWD>'

I use above one in korn shell to display the path as part of the command line.
I don't know whether this works in cshell.
