It also provides the ability to work with multiple directories at the same time. This command will allow you to create a new "shell" and enter it at the specified path. You can toggle between this new shell and the original shell with the p (for previous) and n (for next), allowing you to navigate around a ring buffer of shells. Once you're done with a shell, you can exit it and remove it from the ring buffer.

/tmp> enter /usr
/usr> enter /bin

/bin> p
