So far, for 'csh' and 'ksh' users, the question is answered, but some
of us (like myself) do 99% of our work in < /bin/sh > -- can anyone
come up with a solution for us who are somewhat confined to < /bin/sh >,
without having to have to make an alias of something else to change
directories, like `` cdd () { cd $*; ... ; } '' , which does work, but
is a pain in the neck to remember to execute instead of `` cd '', and
does take a bit of processing time??

Thanks to any 'wizards' out there who can come up with an answer to
this one!
