It allows for a quick back button if you will, like if your in a dir /usr/local/bin and you cd'd to /home/user/dev/stuff and you wanted to got back, after a while it can get tedious to move back and forth (yes I know that is what the up and down arrows are for) but this is another way of doing it. to add the back command (bash only at this moment) add the following lines to your .bashrc file or your /etc/profile -- begin code -- alias cd='export BWD=$PWD; cd' alias back='export CCOM="cd $BWD"; export TDIR=$PWD; `echo $CCOM`; export BWD=$TDIR' -- end code -- -jeremy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
