Cool, useful stuff. It seems like no matter how long I use computers,
there's always some cool new trick to learn.

There's another way to skin this cat, too. If you just type "cd -", you go
back to your previous directory. (This works in bash and ksh.) Another
shortcut is just running "cd" (with no arguments). That'll take you to your
home directory. (This also works in bash and ksh.)

[oracle@devserver3 saved]$ pwd
/tmp/saved
[oracle@devserver3 saved]$ cd
[oracle@devserver3 oracle]$ pwd
/home/oracle
[oracle@devserver3 oracle]$ cd -
/tmp/saved
[oracle@devserver3 saved]$ pwd
/tmp/saved
[oracle@devserver3 saved]$
