if you like that you might also enjoy pushd and popd.  just enter 'help
pushd' or 'help popd' at the command prompt for details.

it keeps your directories in a stack, and you can switch between any of
them.

Ex.

cd		# at your home dir
pushd /etc	# at /etc
pushd /var	# at /var
pushd		# at /etc
pushd		# back to /var
pushd +2	# at home

the dir stack is printed after each pushd.  and popd is used to remove
directories from the dir stack.

Handy, I think.
