Whenever I pop up M-x shell from within a buffer, I would like
to cd to the current directory of the buffer. Now, when I start
up, only then the buffer directory is consulted.

But a existing shell is not sent cd to current buffer directory
while coming up using M-x shell.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

PS: something even more desirable is to do the above only if the
buffer is called *shell*, so that I can have a *fixed-shell* which is
not sent the cd. But I do not seem to use the *fixed-shell* type stuff
anyway.
