when I used csh, I used to have a "cwd", which just did a "echo $cwd".
That way I could get both the logical and physical current directory.
When I changed to ksh, I wanted to retain this functionality, so I put the
following in the .kshrc:

alias cwd='print - ~+'
unalias pwd

Now "pwd" and "cwd" work like they did for csh.
