Hi Uwe, Directory tracking in the shell is handled by comint mode with `shell-dirtrackp'. I snooped around in comint but to be honest, I don't know why your code snippet doesn't trigger dirtracking where typing it in yourself would work.
It may be that matlab-shell-collect-command-output and other functions that call `comint-send-string' should instead call `comint-send-input' after editing the command line. You could give it a try and see if it helps.

Dir1 contains 3 matlab files dir2 contains 3 matlab files I open one file in dir1 and execute the code for example via matlab-shell-save-and-go I do the same with the other files but then I change to dir2 and open the first file: when I now execute the code it sometimes does not run, since the matlab-shell presumes it is still in dir 1. So I execute the following hack. (defun matlab-cd-dir-actual () (interactive) (matlab-shell-run-command (concat "cd " (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name)))) (message (concat "*MATLAB* (& lisp) dir: " (default-directory))) (setq default-directory (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name)))) So far so good. However when I switch to the matlab-shell and want to open a file via find-file Then (X)emacs still seems to think that I am in dir1 and offers ~/matlabfiles/dir1 Instead of ~/matlabfiles/dir2 When I execute pwd in the matlab-shell I receive ans= /home/oub/matlabfiles/dir2 As it should be. So maybe this is more a question of (X)emacs, but why does my function not work as expected.
