I'd like something more like:
Automatic pushd to a directory history list and then be able to 
switch directly to any directory in the list. Not popd (with 
directory lost), popd (with directory lost)...

I'm not sure how display and selection of the directory history list 
would work. The 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT shells (for their respective OS's) 
pop up a window (text based, a la curses) when you press ctrl-pageup, 
from which you can cursor up/down and press enter to select a 
previously visited directory. The same kind of pop up window is 
available for command history.
