Normally, I'd have an alias in "csh" that looks like this:

		alias down 'cd \!^; ls'

What it does is move to a subdirectory and prints it out. (I like to "see"
where I'm going, so to speak. :-)

But, here's the fun part...how do I do the same thing in ksh?? Shell
scripts ain't the answer, because once I get to a new directory, I want
to STAY there. Also, ksh's alias isn't as...ummm...err..."intelligent"
as csh's alias.
