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

You can have bash display your hostname and working directory at the prompt in this form:

         yoda:/var/tmp>$

    by changing the PS1 line or creating in your .profile to read:

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

    The defninition must be in single quotes, or it won't update
    the prompt when you change directories.  If you like to see your
    hostname capitalized like I do, then hardcode it into your .profile
    like this:

        PS1='Yoda:$PWD>\$'
