seems to be what i would have expected...if [openpanel] thinks that the pwd is X, why should $(pwd) think it differently. > > [cd /home/full/path/to/patch ( > | > [shell] > > doesn't seem to do anything, and would be a workaround if it did. it does and it has been discussed multiple times on this list: sending a command to the [shell] will start a new process (shell), run the command and quit. like it should be, child processes do not modify parent processes and siblings. you could as well do: start a new xterm; notice that you are in ${HOME}; run "cd /tmp"; close the xterm; start another xterm, notice that you are still in ${HOME} i am not sure what you would like to achieve with [pwd] or [cd] that is: if you could manage with [pwd] and [cd], why can't you do so with the current absolute/relative path in [openpanel]? fmgads.
