This is probably another stupid techie question..

When running the shell script "mybash" below in the MSYS environment a subshell
is started that executes separately from the invoking shell. When the subshell
is done and dies, is there a way to make the invoking script, which then gets
control back again,    be placed in the directory the subshell were in when
it died?



This is the "my.bat" file below were things work the way I want :)

cd ..\..\libtool1.5\tests
rem I am a windows .bat file and I will do some stuff here in the "tests"
subdirectory
rem I will now return. My caller will be placed in the subdirectory "tests"
too, after I am dead.
pause



This is the "mybash" script file below that needs some help :(

#!/bin/sh
cd ../../libtool1.5/tests
pwd
# do some stuff here in the "tests" subdirectory
# I will now return. I would like to place my caller in the subdirectory "tests"
too, but I cannot.
# I there anyone out there that can help me out?

Sorry to bother u guys with such trivia ..

B cool
