Re: [Axiom-developer] Current directory at startup

[Gregory Vanuxem]

Some (?) other issues:

(1) -> )cd temp
   The current AXIOM default directory
is /home/greg/wh-axiom/axiom/target/x86_64-unknown-linux/ 
(1) -> )cd
   The current AXIOM default directory is /home/greg/ 
(1) -> )cd temp
 
   >> System error:
   #p"/home/greg/" is not of type SEQUENCE.

the /home/greg/temp directory exists.

PS : Bill, in the bug report that you sent me, you mention two bugs but
I think there was only one bug, )cd without parameter changes the
working directory to $HOME ($HOMEPATH on Windows I think) :


(1) -> )sys cd
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ASUS\My Documents

---> The current system path is correct.

(1) -> )cd
   The current AXIOM default directory is
      C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ASUS\
      
---> This current directory is wrong. So this file is not found.
