Hi McHenry & Diego
according to (http://www.linfo.org/cd.html) cd on its own does alternate between two directories like ~ $ cd /tmp /tmp $ cd ~ $ cd /tmp $ and so on .... However! I've tested it on Mac and Fedora 20 -- and the shell (Bash on Fedora) returns the user to the $HOME in both environments (hmmm) Good spot, Diego!
