NAME
       posd -  returns the path matching that of the frontmost finder window

SYNOPSIS
       posd

DESCRIPTION
       posd  is  an  osascript embedded in a shell script that returns the pwd
       corresponding to the frontmost finder window.  Its real value  is  when
       aliased  to the command cdf, i.e., cdf='cd "$(posd)"'.  The command cdf
       then changes the terminal pwd to match that  of  the  frontmost  finder
       window.   fdc  is  essentially  the  reciprocal  operation  of cdf.  It
       changes the finder window to match the pwd of the terminal in which the
       command is issued.
