问题
My prompt is currently displayed like here:
[Aug-27 14:36] /x/y/z/w/u/v/dir1/dir2/dir3>
What I would like to do is replace the constant partial-path of the current working directory
/x/y/z/w/u/v
with
$WORK
so eventually what will be displayed is
[Aug-27 14:36] $WORK/dir1/dir2/dir3>
/x/y/z/w/t/u is always the same path from which I usually do my work and for which I have a local variable $WORK set (very similar to the home ~ idea).
A straight-forward solution will be most-welcomed as I really don't know much about setting a shell.

Just put those lines into ~/.tcshrc:
set WORK='/x/y/z/w/u/v'
set dollar='$'
alias precmd 'printf "%b" "\e[36m"; date +"[%b-%d %H:%M] " | tr -d "\n"; [ `expr "$PWD" : "$WORK*"` -gt 0 ] && printf "%s" "$dollar$PWD" | sed "s|$WORK|WORK|" - || printf "%s" "$PWD"'
set prompt='%#%{\e[0;0m%} '
# The default tcsh ^L binding for screen clearing does not run precmd.
# This one does.
bindkey -s "^L" "clear\n"
precmd is a command, which is run before a prompt is shown to you. You can use it to customize your prompt using other commands available on your system.
When it comes to colors, you can add them using those special color sequences like \e[36m (more details here). In the my example I turned on non-bold cyan for the whole prompt by prepending printf "%b" "\e[36m"; to the definition of precmd. You add your own colors this way, just put that a similar printf command somewhere in there. I turned off colors (bringing back the default text color of the terminal) by appending %{\e[0;0m%} to the prompt, end of which happens to be set by the prompt variable. I'm using %{...%} because this is how you change colors inside when setting the prompt variable. So basically you should use printf "%b" "..."; for the precmd alias and %{...%} for the prompt variable.

Tested on Ubuntu 17.04 with tcsh --version returining tcsh 6.20.00 (Astron) 2016-11-24 (x86_64-unknown-linux) options wide,nls,dl,al,kan,sm,rh,nd,color,filec.

This is just a custom prompt that probably could give you an idea about how to create/improve yours:
set COLOR1="%{\e[0;32m%}"
set COLOR2="%{\e[0;33m%}"
set COLOR3="%{\e[0;36m%}"
set COLOR4="%{\e[0;0m%}"
set COLOR5="%{\e[0;33m%}"
set prompt="$COLOR2\[$COLOR3%n@%M$COLOR2\:$COLOR1%~$COLOR2\] [%p %d]\n$COLOR5>$COLOR4 "
set promptchars = "%#"
The prompt will be something like:
[user@host:/current/dir] [current date]
>
Like the COLOR variables you could set WORK.
