OK, I know about UVPROMPT, but it will only let you specify a single
character.

I work in numerous accounts, and it would be good if the LOGIN PA could
change the prompt to have multiple characters so I can see which account I'm
in. Believe me, all it takes is one mistake to leave a lasting impression.

Anyone know of a way to use multiple chars for the prompt without writing my
own shell?

I had the same concern a few years ago. We have a development account which is a verbatim copy of yesterday's production environment so it's pretty easy to forget where you are. I ended up writing a basic program that replaces the UV prompt with the currect directory name. I also added code to duplicate all the command stack functionality (.X, .C, .D) because I use those commands frequently. I'd be happy to share the code. Email me off-list if you're interested.
