Yes.  The 'cd' command isn't an executable; it's a command built into
your shell.  So, it stands to reason that if you use the same shell
you used to use, then 'cd' will behave like it used to.  (In
particular, {t,}csh doesn't bother remembering links, but bash and
some implementations of ksh do.)

I'm afraid I don't understand.
