another way to get the return status is 
$ echo $?

ex : 
$ ls /eoau
$ echo $?
1

yet another way (coolest !) is to use zsh 
and a prompt like this :
export PROMPT="$(echo '%B%(?..[%?] )%b%n@%U%m%u> ')" 

xavier=RBUIKZetp+8 at public.gmane.org> ls /eoau                                                     
ls: /eoau: No such file or directory
[1] xavier=RBUIKZetp+8 at public.gmane.org>


that way the return value is always printed in the prompt
if different from 0.
