Re: Can't change directory with shell(cd)

[Michael D Mays]

Yes you do if you have space and other evil MacOS filename  
characters. Sarah saw what I was doing wrong.

I wonder if each shell call is threaded separately.
Thanks,
Michael

No matter which folder I chose, Rev's 'Home' folder is the  
directory  listed.
When I cut and paste fld 1 into the Terminal, ls works as expected.
What am I doing wrong or is this a 'feature';)?

Does the path need to be in quotes? E.g.:

    put "cd "&quote&aPath&quote into aRequest
