but it can also be :
aj@dungeon:~/isdn/update/isdnutils-2.0.1/tools/isdnlog/contrib/xisdnload$     
aj@dungeon:~/isdn/update/isdnutils-2.0.1/tools/isdnbutton/sample/sample2/etc/rc.d/init.d$

you see : its not a very good one...
(these prompts are not constructed ! they are reality, and everytiem i
have such a long prompt, i hate my prompt)
