Hi All,
I just discovered this. To cd back to the previous directory
cd -
What a time saver!

There is also a more powerful tool:
pushd DIR cd to DIR and push olddir on a stack
popd cd to the DIR on top of stack and removes it
dirs list the stack
So you can do several "pushd" and go back trough them with popd
(each have options, look them up...)
I'm aware of them. They originally appeared in the C Shell (csh) but
frankly I could never be bothered. 'cd -' on the other hand, is always
there and you don't need to think about it.
Yes, I use "cd -" all the time but if I know I have to search several dirs and
want to go back at will, "pushd" is very handy.
