In article <115@lakart.UUCP> dg@lakart.UUCP (David Goodenough) 
asks about a way to refer to the entries on csh's directory stack.

I have this in my .cshrc, I'm sure there are other ways but this is pretty
simple.  This lets me use $1, $2 and so on to refer to the directory
stack entries.


if ( ! $?prompt ) goto skipprompt

	 ... various other things for interactive shells only ...

	alias	cd	'cd \!*; setdirs'
	alias	pushd	'pushd \!*; setdirs'
	alias	popd	'popd \!*; setdirs'
	alias	setdirs	'set argv=(`dirs`)'
	
skipprompt:

Hope this is of some use to somebody.
