Very simple ! swd is "swap directory stack". My great discovery is that
I can go one step further (instead of typing swd on the command line;
which requires me to remember a different command than the UNIX
environment) and alias 'cd' such that 'cd -' will do 'swd' and you
don't need to use pushd to get around to be able to back track since
the new alised 'cd' will do that for you.

To see the effect, run 4DOS 3.0, put the two lines I posted into a
file say 'xxxx'. Then do a 'alias /R xxxx'. From here on, do a few
'cd' around and try a few 'cd -'.
