I spent a long time trying to get a csh-like pushd/popd alias to work and concluded that msh must execute these aliases in a subshell, leaving the parent shell unaffected. About the best you can do if you have an unbearably long path that you frequently type is to set a shell variable equal to it (in, say, .profile) and just say "cd $x", for example.
