Hello Team, Sorry for the confusion, but what I mean by drop off in is. If I run the a script from "/home/team/purl" and I choose from the menu "/home/brian/foy" I would like that to be my pwd from that point on until I choose another directory from the menu. I have not been able to get chdir() to do that for me. As stated before I can do anything I wish by using chdir(), but once I do a pwd I am still in the same directory as before.
