Hi, My 2 cents: I don't know whether the metaphor of the file system was used on purpose or came "by chance"; if you want to stick with it, I think that
#1 Are the concepts of domains and "directory" related? if so, and if you want to collapse the commands, how would you specify your intentions? Would you add some parameter to the commands? So, for example, how would you change to the domain 'foo' when in your current directory there's also a directory named 'foo'? #2 I agree that maybe you could add more information about what's happening, but I have two use cases in mind that puzzles me: a) I'm in a directory deep in the structure, and I type *cd ..* *then a llist is displayed; again, I type* *cd ..* *and again another list is displayed.* *Doing this more will fill your console with a lot of information you didn't really need.* b) *cd foo* *a list of item is displayed* *do something* *do something else* *do something else* *do something else* (the list goes out of view) now how can I recall the list? I don't think you want to keep ls, do you? I hope my thoughts are clear and correct somehow.
