C shell prompt

Hi there,

I wanted C shell prompt to be '#' for root and '%' for normal users.

I could make '#' for root and '>' for normal users with
set promt='%#'
in /etc/csh.cshrc, but I REALLY prefer '%'.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

i haven't used a unix c-shell in a while... but i think it was the local $HOME/.cshrc files in the accounts that set the prompts. i think you can just set it using those.

Sorry...maybe this is not the right place to ask such a question. I'll post it in the 'newbie' section.
