There's nothing exotic involved, we give you aliases for the C shell and shell
functions for the Bourne and Korn shell that run ncd, read the new directory,
and change there.  If you run ncd without having the aliases set up it offers
to add appropriate lines to the end of your .profile or .cshrc to set them up.
