[wplug] *.bat files

[Embery, Nathan]

Well, if I understand you correctly, it did actually. That script spawned a
new shell, which started in your current directory, created the newfile dir,
cded into it, and cleared the screen. Once that was done the script, and
hence the new shell for that script, exited returning execution to your
shell (which never moved)

Add a 'touch ScriptWasActuallyHere' line into your script after the cd and
you'll see that it did actually cd into that directory.

If you require that *your* shell be cded, then what you want is a function,
not a script. I learned this after trying to create a script to set up env
vars for me. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CFLAGS, etc...

For ksh try this

# function make_and_move_into_dir {
> mkdir $1
> cd $1
> clear
> ls
> }

Tried this batch file and found that it created a new directory and cleared
the terminal.  Would not cd to the new directory????
