This makes sense to me - though I am not saying its "correct". When you cd in interactive mode rc(1) writes the path to the directory into /dev/wdir. This informs rio of your current dir so it can do the filename completion (and also gives the directory context to the plumber). I guess the @{ } "execute in a subshell" code in rc could save and restore the current directory, however this is only an issue in interactive mode. I have never needed @{ } interactively so I have not had this problem. probably the best way to get things back in sync is: cd `{pwd} -Steve
