the evil computer again

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
The only way to learn is by experimenting.
Do NOT press the red button.
Aphorisms which have become part of our lives. A suitable combination of them applies when you take an enthusiastic bloke and let him tinker with the .cshrc on a linux. One of the things not to do is to put an alias in the .cshrc which will change a basic command, such as >cd. Well, i did just that, and after compiling the .cshrc, i couldn't figure out for the life of me why >cd didn't work. Silly.
