 So on my FreeBSD system, on those lines, it just says "command not found",
 and it fails.
 This isn't a problem on Linux, where /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash,
 but FreeBSD and Solaris have an actual bourne shell, which doesn't support
 those commands.  I don't know what the behavior on MacOS X is.

 I can change it to use a different shell, or change the 'pushd' and 'popd'
 commands to cd, and then 'cd -' or 'cd ..'
