Re: bash ?

["Michael D. Crawford" <crawford@goingware.com>]

You probably need to use an alias, rather than a shell script.  The problem is 
that the shell script is performed in a new process, that has its own current 
directory, and is forgotten when it exits

alias "cddoc=cd /usr/share/doc"

Put the alias in your bash startup file, that's ~/.bashrc or some such.

Alternatively, you can execute the shell script with dot:

. myscript

executes the script in the context of the current shell.
