[Coco] Nitros9/Scripts question

[Kandur]

Bill and Robert, thanks for the infos.
Then let's forget about OS-9 scripts, all I want is to avoid 
typing in long path names of often used subdirs, when I want to 
chd into them. Perhaps a small utility with a menu like this?
1   dd/Coco/_Software/_OS-9/_OS-9_Utilities/Kwikgen
2   d1/Media_Players/WD_TV_Media_Player_-_New_for_2014/WD_TV_2014
3   d0/Coco/_Software/_CoCo_Controller_Software/LR-Tech/SUPER_BOARD
Just enter the number to go to that directory.
