Hi all,

My brain cell ran away from home.  I have an incredibly simple script
that doesn't do what I expect.  I use "mkdir DIR; cd DIR" a lot so I'm
trying to put it in a script: "~/bin/mdcd".

After checking that $1 exists:

dir="$1"
mkdir -p "$dir"
cd "$dir"   <------ never executes

The directory is created so there is no error there.

Huh? Insight anyone?

I'm not sure why this doesn't work but you're doing it the hard way.

mkdir -p $1
cd $1

is much simpler, and might work better.
