I don't know about the rest of the stuff you complained about, but
the "cd /" puts you into the next higher directory.  If you read the
manual (Amiga Dos Manual I think), the '/' is not the same as in unix.
It does not mean the root directory but the parent directory.  In other
words Amiga's '/' is equivalent to Unix's '..' .
