IMHO, Quite on the contrary. "cd ." would mean change into the current directory, as opposed to "cd", which means change into home directory by default... In any case, I don't know what the current directory is when starting bash. [leaves to check] Yep, putting "cd ." results in bash opening up current directory. -- Arcady Genkin http://wgaf.dyndns.org "'What good is my pity?
