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?

If you invoke the script as a separate process, then no, neither UNIX or WINDOWS
will do this.  I don't remember for sure but I believe the CMD syntax would
be to use CALL FOO.BAT in the UNIX world you would source the file ``.
/path/to/foo.bat''.  Notice that the ``.'' character is followed by a space
character.  The bash shell has a builtin command named ``source'' that you could
use instead of the ``.''.
