    well, perhaps, but then again, if you're using a terminal window,
    you don't start up a new window for each time you cd.

I feel like I should respond to this, but I don't really think I know
how.  Comparing wily to a terminal window is sort of like comparing
a car to a canoe -- yes, they can both get you places, but it's an
entirely different perspective.

And maybe you don't create a new window every time you cd because your
terminal emulator is too stupid to figure out that it should.  (:
(Not to mention that xterm is dog slow...)

Anyhow, if you want to see how it works, go for it.  I have nothing
against a little experimental evidence to support my excellent
intuition.  (o:

    after all, it was only after
    trying sam with point-to-type that i discovered how *bad* that
    idea was. :-)

Gee, it seems like I got that to work once upon a time....
