If using bash or ksh, you could also set the CDPATH built-in variable in your .profile. This is a colon-separated list of directories in which the shell looks for destination directories specified by the cd command.

e.g. in your .profile...
Code:
export CDPATH='.:/sampledata/IFS/IFS_DEV/HDC/files'

So if you now type at the prompt...
Code:
cd glitter

...you will go to /sampledata/IFS/IFS_DEV/HDC/files/glitter

Do I have to source it every time I use a terminal?Or just for the terminal that were already running when I modified the .profile file?
