This might be a limit of "winexec". Try this for comparison: load 'task' windosh=: 13 : 'shell _2}.;y#<''cd&&''' windosh 999
Also, a version windo1=: 4 : 0 wd 'winexec "cmd /C ',(_2}.;y#<x,'&&'),'";' ) works for 'cd windo1 254 but not 'cd' windo1 255 The "/C" runs a command, then exits so this indicates it might not be a " cmd.exe" problem per se.
