It works, but wouldn't be as useful for what I want to do, |
| 11 |
as you'ld have to enter both 'old' & 'new' after the function command. |
| 12 |
ie instead of 'cd2 hold', you'ld have to write 'cd2 tmp hold': |
| 13 |
it doesn't work if you try 'cd ${PWD/./hold}', which leaves you in 'tmp'. |

For generally jumping round the dir tree, I recommend Cdargs. |
