ok, there gotta be some way to do this! after all, w/unix, all things are possible, right? all i wanna do is have a script "cd" me to another dir. i have it on HIGH authority that this is not possible ... i have a path to the script in question exported via ENV(sh) if i have ". cd dir" in my script, it appears that "cd" does "cd" in the files shell, as opposed to a "cd" shell. if i have "cd dir" in my script, and do ". File", i get "path not found" error. i HAVE to do a ". /completePath/to/File" for it to function. am i really stuck? why do references to my PATH var get lost when specifying ". File"
