I do agree that relying on ksh's magic is at best weird (I can't see a real use case right now). But the fact is that all shells I've tested (bash, ksh93, dash) do export PWD by default (ok, not ksh88...). Do we really ant to be different from almost other shells? -- Jérémie Courrèges-Anglas PGP Key fingerprint: 61DB D9A0 00A4 67CF 2A90 8961 6191 8FBF 06A1 1494
