Has been given by Charles in the FAQ/doc section.
In /root/.profile, put the following code:
cdp()
{
cd $@
export PS1=`echo -n -e "\n$HOSTNAME: -$USER->$PWD"`
}
alias cd=cdp
Thus for every cd, the new directory is also shown in the prompt.
I guess this is what you are looking for given that except for PWD,
everything else is static for the session.

Do what trick? Please be more specific as to what you did, and what you
expected to be the result.
Did you log out and log back in again? That statement is only executed
during login.
