My point was that it would be nice to run a simple command, like "man
cd", or HELP CD, or CD /?, or similar, to find if there are any cool
features. I think "cd -" is very cool. One of my biggest gripes about
Unix is the large amount of typing it takes to move around the file
system. Yes, I could copy and paste, but I don't like to use the mouse
and it slows things down, and you might to scroll back a few pages,
which slows things down even more. I wish there were something like
TO.COM in Unix. With TO.COM you can not only easily go back <n>
directories, but you have easy-to-remember easy-to-type aliases for
the last <n> directories, where n is 9 by default.

My point was missed, too.

I speak to my computer at work: "You stupid machine!" and the
occasional -- how shall I put it -- "GFDI".
