Right-click does nothing on the IPython window. The Windows command console is, I think, a lost cause all together. I've tried a right-click on it with the same result as in IPython. I'm using Win XP, and I hope they improve on Win 7, which I plan to install on all my machines this month. Gary

Wayne, Are you using the IPython shell? If so, cd, pwd, ls, etc will work just fine. If you using the standard python shell, AFAIK, you need to import the os module and use that to navigate. Ipython session: C:\Documents and Settings\phobson>ipython Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:
