Like I said, I had that in my first .bashrc (in UNIX) and I had no
idea what anything in that file meant. As I've learned new stuff, I
altered the file, but kept what I wasn't sure what it was, like that
line. So, I guess I'm trying to say "I have no idea". :-) I've
commented it out for now...

That's how the script is right now. I thought it would be nice to use
a few extra features of bash, changed the first line and found this
"change of directory" problem... I thought it was funny, since in the
Linux machines (where I had that problem) /bin/sh is a link to
/bin/bash, so I was expecting to see no difference with the change...
Thanks!
