How do I display my current working directory at a ksh prompt?

People like to see their hostname and working directory in their prompt, like:

         Yoda:/var/tmp>$

    This can be easily done in ksh by editing your .profile.
    Change the PS1 line or create it to read:

         PS1='Yoda:$PWD\>\$'

    but use your own hostname, rather than Yoda.  Be sure to surround
    the PS1 definition in single quotes, or it won't update when you
    change directories.
