I haven't really used it before did a quick google and from what I saw 
you type pushd newdirectory then you can change between multiple 
directory paths by typing pushd +1

I am not fully sure how you would effectively use it though I know that 
you could have 4 or 5 or more directories and change to them by going 
pushd +number is it a matter of remembering the sequence of the 
directories and where you are or can you give specific numbers or names 
to directories.
