As Steve Drew pointed out in a DEC-internal note, you can stop the shell from
further aliasing with a backslash. Thus, instead of aliasing cd as follows:

alias cd "%d ram:c/cd $d; pwd; sp"

you can simply do the internal cd:

alias cd "%d \cd $d; set _prompt $_cwd ... "

There is no need to load and run the DOS cd.
