This has probably been discussed before so try not to flame me too much. :-) I'm trying to use "cd" in a bourne shell script to assist new users with an application. Its real simple: who date cd /utils Now there are a few other things I can set before the "cd" command but you get the idea. As you know, what happens is that after I run the script I end up in the same directory I started from. I seem to recall running into this before but for the life of me I cannot recall the solution. (don't you just hate that!) Obviously after running the above script I would want a "pwd" to return "/utils". Hope someone can clear the smoke for me on this one. Thanks.
