Given you're using tcsh, try something like this in your .tcshrc:

        set prompt = "%B%m%b:%c03:%# "
        if ( $?TERM ) then
            switch ($TERM)
            case xterm:
            case xterm-color:
                set prompt = '%{\033]0;%n@%m:%/\007%}%B%m%b:%c03:%# '
                breaksw
            case screen:
                set prompt = '[%B%m%b]:%c03:%# '
                breaksw
            default:
                set prompt = '%B%m%b:%c03:%# '
                breaksw
            endsw
        endif

That sets your prompt to look like eg.

lucid-nonsense:~:%

(except the hostname bit is in bold)

and for any terminal that behaves like an xterm -- which includes both
Terminal.app and iTerm.app -- it sets the title bar to eg

matthew at lucid-nonsense:/home/matthew

The other cases in that switch statement are used for different terminal
types.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
