To display the current directory with a command:

$ pwd

To have the current directory in the prompt (I think this is what you
mean) (this only applies if bash is your shell):

$ PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w]\$ '
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$

See the `PROMPTING' section of the `bash' manual page for other things you
can include in the prompt.
