Not really, again when you put this into a file it will change your
directory but after the filescript finishes you'll discover
that you are again in the original directory.
Of course you could alias it in csh.
But now some real answer from a guru please! Is it really impossible
to change your working dir with a shell script _and_ to remain there
after it is finished? I don't know how to do it. Please inform.
