Thats why I did use the brackets () in my example command: (cd <workingdir> ; ipy.exe mypy.py) They spawn a subshell, so after the closing bracket, the original directory is restored. I think, you can achive similar effects by saving the working directory (e. G. in a variable), or using pushd/popd.
