I use a left and right PS1 on ksh.
The left prompt indicates whether I'm root (it becomes red when I'm root), and, if a command fails, it prints the exit code returned by the last command between square brackets.
The right prompt indicates where I am.

Here's how I set it:

Code:
promptcmd() {

    _exit=$?

    _dir=$(echo "$PWD" | sed "s,^$HOME,~,")

    _tty=$(tty)

    _tty=${_tty#/dev/}

    printf "%s" "\[\e]0;$_tty: $_dir\a\]"           # set window title

    echo                                            # blank line

    [ "$_exit" -gt 0 ] && printf "%s" "\[\e[1;31m\] [$_exit]"

    printf "%s" "\[\e[0m\]"

    printf "%s" "\[\e[s\]"                          # save cursor position

    printf "%s" "\[\e[$((COLUMNS - ${#_dir}))G\]"   # go to right

    printf "%s" "$_dir"                             # print pwd

    printf "%s" "\[\e[u\]"                          # restore cursor position

    if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]

    then

        printf "%s" "\[\e[1;31m\]"

    else

        printf "%s" "\[\e[1m\]"

    fi

    printf "%s" " ❯ "

    printf "%s" "\[\e[0m\]"

}

PS1='`promptcmd`'
