The key is to use the '.' command (sh) or 'source' command (csh) to avoid
creating a new shell, and execute the cd in the current shell.

The way I do it is to have a list of aliases which are set up when I log in,
so I can hop around even more easily:

alias   cdns32	'cd ~/src/dbx/ns32; pwd'
alias   cdddt	'cd /usr1/NSC/src/cmd/ddt; pwd'
alias   cdst	'cd ~/src/st; pwd'
alias   cdpas	'cd ~gsf/comp/src/fe/src/pcfe/src; pwd'
