You mean put the current working directory into the prompt "like DOS" ?
Or just type
pwd

Or do you mean the full path to the bash binary?

only thing to remember - if there are space chars in the path, either escape them using '\' or put the path in quotes.
using `find` instead of `ls -A`, is another helpful hint, when iterating through dirs and files with spaces
