No, really, I didn't know that. But ...

jbaer at robinson:~$ echo $CDPATH

jbaer at robinson:~$ export CDPATH=/home/jbaer
jbaer at robinson:~$ cd warez
bash: cd: warez: No such file or directory
jbaer at robinson:~$ ls incoming/warez/

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.25(1)-release (i586-pc-linux-gnu)

/me checks the manpage.

Drat! It's not listed. Yeah, one of these days, I'll upgrade. Until then,
I'll just have to cd the old fashioned way. Good thing I'm wearing hiking
boots.
