Os:	Ultrix 1.2A
Bug:	The csh dirs command is documented as producing an
	abbreviated output form using ~ unless the -l option
	is used.  However if `dirs` is used the full path name
	is returned without the -l option.

Example:
	% dirs
	~
	% dirs -l
	/fs/cs/jonathan
	% echo `dirs`
	/fs/cs/jonathan
	% echo `dirs -l`
	/fs/cs/jonathan

	echo `dirs` should have produced ~.
