frequency. Once your database is reasonably complete, you can "jump"
to a commonly "cd"ed directory. It supports the bash, zsh, and
tcsh shells.
+
+Additional Installation Steps
+------------------------------
+
+Add the following to your .bashrc to enable autojump for your
+account:
+
+[[ -s /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && source /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh
+
+You must open a new shell for autojump to become active. You may
+also need to log in and out of your desktop environment.
+
+The default shell in Slackware is Bash. Further steps may be
+required for other shell environments.
+
+Example Usage
+--------------
+
+$ cd /tmp
+$ cd /home
+$ cd /var
+$ cd /var/log
+$ j tmp
+$ j log
+$ jo /home
+$ j -s
+
+The "j" command drops you back into each directory. The "jo"
+command will launch a file manager for the home directory if
+you are using a graphical environment. Adding "-s" to the "j"
+command will list your autojump database. See the man page
+for further details.
