I assume you want the pwd to be shown instead of, or in addition to, the # prompt. I'm pretty sure this exact question has been answered in the forum, perhaps as long ago as several years. I can't remember who answered it, but you might limit your search to posts made by pizzasgood. Or maybe it's in the How To section. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. Sad

Cool. I copied the line from your post, then pasted it into rxvt by simultaneously clicking the right and left mouse buttons. It worked. Smile

Yes, It works. But how do you make it persistent on every start of rxvt?

might be a bit late but here's my script that I run for a new install

Code:
#!/bin/sh
## change prompt from "#" to "path # " in /etc/profile - by DC 7/7/09

#    change directory to etc to make sure your in the right directory
cd /etc

sed -i 's_PS1="# "_PS1="\\w # "_' profile

## what it all means
# sed  stream editor
# -i edit the file in place
# '...................' inclose in single quotes in case of meta-characters
# s substution option
# '_........_........_' underscores used as a delimiter to aid clarity
# \\ two back slashes required, one as escape for the second as part of the PS1 option


and another tip for the day
from a rox window using the ` (back tic) usually left of the 1 key
opens a rxvt terminal to the path of the rox window
