- Incidently, if you want to know the full path of the CWD, you can do a
- "cd" with no arguments. This of course can be used with the backtick as
- well (e.g. "dir `cd`") which could be used to make a CWD variable -- "set
- CWD `cd`" though it wouldn't get updated, but it could be midly useful in
- scripts.
