Changing directory echoes "Directory: "

Question

I have an annoying problem when using Screen on my SLED10 machine. When changing directory (cd, chdir, pushd/popd) the resulting path is echoed in the terminal.

user@/home/user> cd ..
Directory: /home
user@/home>

This problem only seem to exist in Screen. I have checked my prompt and it does not contain anything related to this behavior. I am using tcsh/xterm.

How do I get rid of the echo of the directory?!

Best Regards, Stefan

Does it behave the same in sh, bash? Try to search string 'Directory: ' in configuration files (in /etc and home directories). — hluk, Sep 23 '10 at 16:09

Maybe cd has been overridden with an alias or a function.

Once in screen, use:
alias cd to see if there is an alias and
declare -f to check your functions.

I've checked for any alias but cannot find any. declare is not recognized on my machine. – qstebom Sep 24 '10 at 12:25
Well, It seems I didn't check the alias list enough: cwdcmd (echo "Directory: $cwd" > /dev/$tty) – qstebom Sep 24 '10 at 12:26
