If you are using csh (or tcsh) look up cdpath.  For example, I need to get to
the directory
        /d4/oreo/install/3.0
fairly regularly.  My cdpath contains "/d4/oreo/install" and I just use the
command "cd 3.0" to get to where I want to go.

Since you can also use (no wildcards) subdirectories, this can be quite useful:
       cd 3.0/src
        cd 3.0/tst
all with only 1 definition

You may find this to be useful...
