I'll answer my own question in case it's of interest to anyone (and from
now on I'll always search for 5 additional minutes before posting to the
group). There is a variable called PROMPT_COMMAND that will do it.
Also, it's "precmd" in tcsh, not "precmnd". I hope I can handle my own
constructive criticism. If not, I'll send myself a private rebuttle,
and save the rest of the group from such unpleasantries.
