Hi,

in csh/tcsh I have an alias

alias cd 'cd \!*; echo $cwd'

and I would like to have this in bash-2.

The man page says I cannot refer to arguments in an alias,
I need a function.
In a function I can refer to it as "$@", but

cd(){
\cd "$@"
echo $PWD
}

continuesly calls itself, because the escape \cd
does not work for a function (only works for an alias).

Suggestions?

cd() {
builtin cd "$@"
pwd
}
