SYNTAX
      popd [-p] [-l] [-n|-v] [+n]

OPTIONS

  The -l, -n and -v flags have the same effect on popd  as
	       on dirs.	 (+)

   +n   Remove the Nth directory (counting from the left of the list 
        printed by dirs), starting with zero. 
        The pushdsilent shell variable can be set to prevent this 
        and the -p flag can be given to override pushdsilent

   -n   Suppress the normal change of directory when removing directories from 
        the stack, so that only the stack is manipulated. 

Notes
Without arguments, pops the directory stack and returns to the new top directory.

all forms of popd print the final directory stack

su uses the environment variables: HOME, PATH, TERM and USER.

popd is a tcsh shell command.
