I believe it is. And even if one sets up their paths so that LC starts
with $HOME as their default directory, the default directory is
changeable by any script at any time, so a note reminding users to
explicitly set that path wh

For Linux users who have installed "single user", in their HOME
directory, the defaultfolder is their HOME directory.. Those who have
installed for all users, in /opt, will run into these kinds of issues,
OK, I see now the relationship with the defaultFolder and I'll update
my bugzilla report to reflect this. But then why is this not the case

Richard suggested a note in the Dictionary and that seems to be
sensible. Currently the Dictionary suggests that if you are have
trouble with shel
$PWD should start at the current working directory, and that is not the same if
you run the command in the terminal or if you runit from your program. You will
(and should) get different answers. Even if you run in the IDE compared to a
standalone.

May I assume Scott and Tim that your LC resides in the System level
Applications folder. Mine resides in the User level Applications
folder and may be an extra clue as to why, for me, Terminal > LC,
whilst for you both it's Terminal < LC.

Redirected the output to files. Results are identical, except for the
extra file created by running the initial 'find $PWD > pwdtest.
Interesting.
OSX 10.7.5 Terminal: 100,168 lines
LC Community 6.1: 294,140
LC Community 7.0 dp5: 294,140
However a quick check of the LC results shows files from /Applications/

The Terminal results 'correctly' (I assumed) list files from /Users/.

Before I go ahead and submit a bug report I'd like others to test and
report their findings. This is just a simple shell script which should
list the entire contents (folders and files) of the Users account.
In Terminal enter the following:
find $PWD
The output will be on each line the full path
