[wplug] *.bat files

[Jonathan S Billings]

It did change to that directory ... for that shell's session.  Remember,
shell scripts run with their own shell.  Your login session is running
under a completely different shell.  The CWD (current working directory)
of both of those shells are independant.  If you really want to create a
command that makes a directory, changes the CWD to that new directory
and clears the terminal, it might be easier done with a shell alias.
