    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The prompt will change when you change directories. This is more or less normal. The '~' indicates the shell is open in your home directory.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Thanks for replying Rubberman

    It's all working now. The problem was that empty tcshrc.cenbtral file I mentioned in the other post.
