I have a solution to your problem. It dos the right thing most of the
time in csh and emacs.
1) add the following lines to the beginning of your .cshrc file:
cd
set cwd=`pwd`
set home=$cwd
set cdpath=$cwd
2) add the following lines to your .cshrc.mine, or wherever you put
aliases:
alias cd 'chdir \!*; chdir .'
Or, if you use back (like I do):
alias cd 'set old=$cwd; chdir \!*; chdir .'
alias back 'set back=$old; set old=$cwd; cd $back; unset back; dirs'
Now, the right thing (a somewhat better thing?) will happen. Also, be
sure to use %m, not %M in your prompt.
