I don't think this is a Konsole Wish... This should be done at shell level =

i'm not very convinced it's a good idea ;-)=20
However, I found a easy solution to implement what you want:
Edit your .bashrc and add the following to the end of the file:

function cd
{
   command cd "$@";
   if [ -s .description ]
   then
      cat .description
   fi
}


Now you can create .description files on each dir you want this behaviour a=
nd=20
each time the file .description is found on a dir, it will output it's=20
content...
Not sure if this is somehow what you wanted...
