cygwin: clear and path dir

[Frank Merenda]

you can clear the display by typing the command "clear" at the prompt. 

you can display your current directory by putting the following line in your
.bashrc file:

PS1="\w-\$"
that will show your current directory, and a "-$" after,so you will end up
with a prompt that looks like this:

/dev/vex-$

hope that helps!
