FYI: Theres nothing unixy about pushd, its been on windows computers for years (it dates back to CED and PCED on Dos 3 iirc). And is in fact often the prefered way to cd on windows boxes because it allows you to switch volumes using the same syntax that you switch directories with, something that cd doesnt allow you to do. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
