[NTLUG:Discuss] Any idea of pop utilities

[Paul Drew]

Howdy,
Depending on what shell your in, you could just make aliases for it in your 
.profile, or .cshrc file. I really just depends on what shell your in. If I 
understand what your doing.

alias ls 'ls -CA'

the above is a sample from my .cshrc which I use because I use tcsh in Irix.

alias pop 'cd ..'
alias push 'cd'

That should work if you were using the same shell. I don't know what the 
differences between the other shells with specifics to syntax. Good luck, 
and I hope I helped some.
