Besides the fact, that I think it is bad style to convince anybody to
use a different shell, the tcsh has several builtin variables for the
the prompt. Let me quote from the manpage:

             %/  The current working directory.
             %M  The full hostname.
             %m  The hostname up to the first `.'.
             %n  The user name.

and some other more. I usually set the prompt to "%m:%/> ".
