## Comments:

      PUSHD is a lot like CD, except that it stores the current directory
      before changing it. Later on, POPD can be used to restore it.
      PUSHD can be used several times, storing a stack of directories.
      Using PUSHD without specifying a directory will store the current
      directory, but not change it.
      POPD is a command internal to command.com
      and needs no other file in order to work.
