You don't need to cd into the current working directory. You're already there. That's what "working directory" means -- the directory you just cd'ed into.

But you can if you like. That's just:

cd .

Dot always means "this directory", no matter where you are.


I have tried:

$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python\2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido

And what happened?

Please run these two lines and copy and paste the results back to us:


ls -ld /jwbonnell
ls -ld /home/jwbonnell




$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python\2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido/hello.py
$ cd /jwbonnell/bin/Python 2.7/Extras/Demo/tkinter/guido/hello.py

cd stands for Change Directory. You can't cd into a file.
