The following aliases are VERY useful for browsing:

	alias  go	'cd \!*    ; echo "[ $cwd ]";ls -F'
	alias  .	'cd ./\!*  ; echo "[ $cwd ]";ls -F'
	alias  ..	'cd ../\!* ; echo "[ $cwd ]";ls -F'

The "echo" and/or the "ls" is optional; it's a matter of usage style.
(Echo is cheap in "csh", "ls -F" is also a 4.1 thing) Note that "." tells
you where you are.  (Edited) example:

	% go /
	[ / ]
	READ_ME 	etc/		maint/		usr/
	% . usr
	[ /usr ]
	bin/		games/		lib/		ucb/
	% . lib
	[ /usr/lib ]
	aliases 	fontinfo/	libjobs.a*	tabset/
	% .. games
	[ /usr/games ]
	arithmetic*	ching*		mille*		rogue*		zork*

(Using ">" and "<" for anything but re-direction seems asking for trouble...)
