How come bash get it right but sh gets it wrong? Can > I convice AMD or shell not to do that? Just tried something similar on my system (though with tcsh and bash): [karelj@wop21]~/flatflame> pwd /mnt/flatflame [karelj@wop21]~/flatflame> bash bash-2.02$ pwd /home/karelj/flatflame bash-2.02$ ~/flatflame is a symlink to /mnt/flatflame. It seems that tcsh's pwd reports the 'shortest' path, while bash reports the path how I came there... Karel.
