How does `cd` work?

It's been like that since the DOS days, IIRC.

You can simulate that behavior on bash with an alias such as this one:

  alias cd..="cd .."

I believe that you also don't need the space when you specify a path:

    cd\foo\x

The cmd parser in Windows is the most bizarre piece of software in common use. I don't believe there is a single person that actually understands how it works completely.

I think that Rex Conn and I could give it a fair go. (-:

My base bashrc has this and cd-, just to handle typos
