Thank you very much!
Here is bashrc:
[C07H5099DJD2:~] burt% cat /etc/bashrc
# System-wide .bashrc file for interactive bash(1) shells.
if [ -z "$PS1" ]; then
return
fi
PS1='\h:\W \u\$ '
# Make bash check its window size after a process completes
shopt -s checkwinsize
# Tell the terminal about the working directory at each prompt.
if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "Apple_Terminal" ] && [ -z "$INSIDE_EMACS" ]; then
update_terminal_cwd() {
# Identify the directory using a "file:" scheme URL,
# including the host name to disambiguate local vs.
# remote connections. Percent-escape spaces.
local SEARCH=' '
local REPLACE='%20'
local PWD_URL="file://$HOSTNAME${PWD//$SEARCH/$REPLACE}"
printf '\e]7;%s\a' "$PWD_URL"
}
PROMPT_COMMAND="update_terminal_cwd; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi
and here is csh.cshrc:
# System-wide .cshrc file for csh(1).
if ($?prompt) then
set promptchars = "%#"
if ($?tcsh) then
set prompt = "[%m:%c3] %n%# "
else
set prompt = "[%m:%c3] `id -nu`%# "
endif
endif
