description
This is a tiny little script to allow the VIM user to CD to whatever directory your buffer currently is in.  So, if you "vim my/dir/deeply/in/src/file.txt" a lot then ":CD" will move VIM into my/dir/deeply/in/src so that you can edit other files easily within the same directory.
 
install details
Either copy the guts of the file into your .vimrc or source it.

Share and enjoy!
