How to custom display prompt in KornShell to show hostname and current directory?

Question

I am using KornShell (ksh) on Solaris and currently my PS1 env var is:

PS1=\"${HOSTNAME}:\\${PWD} \\$ \"

And the prompt displays: hostname:/fu

if you work between two shells for most of your effort [ksh and bourne sh] and desire a directory tracking display on your command line then PWD can be substituted easily in ksh and if you use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh for your sh SHELL, it will work there as well
