Moving around Directories.

     Change to the home directory:
          $ cd ~
            or
          $ cd

     To go back to the last directory
          $ cd -

     Instead of "cd" to a directory try "pushd" and look
     at the heading...you can see a list of directories.

          $ pushd /etc
          $ pushd /usr/local

      Then, to get back "popd" or "popd 1"

      To list all the directories pushed on the stack
      use the "dirs -v" command.

          $ dirs -v
           0  /usr/local
           1  /etc
           2  /work/souptonuts/documentation/theBook

      Now, if you "pushd +1" you will be moved to "/etc", since
      is number "1" on the stack, and this directory will become
      "0".

          $ pwd
           /usr/local
          $ pushd +1
          $ pwd
           /etc

          $ dirs -v
           0  /etc
           1  /work/souptonuts/documentation/theBook
           2  /usr/local
