One of the easiest ways to do it is to overload the CD command. That is, build your own CD command and alias the real CD to it. In your command, you will display the variables you want to on your prompt. I have done it before. If you want a sample, let me know and I will dig up what we did (it was at the last job).

The only drawback is that it only change when you change directory. It is not interactive and changing on every command.

Anybody knows how to show current working directory and in general shell variable in Korn shell that prompt change when variable changes - for current working directory and ORACLE_SID for example. I know how to do it in bash but cannot do it right in Korn.
