--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user@ubuntu:~/workspace/SVN/haystak-repos/trunk/internal/src$ addpi

You can switch to it anytime like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user@ubuntu:~$ pi internal`
user@ubuntu:~/workspace/SVN/haystak-repos/trunk/internal/src$ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pi will switch you to that directory.
To see the list of all fast access directories you have to say "cat ~/.pi"
