CHD will attempt to update the last modified date of the directory
that you CHD to. If it fails (i.e. for reasons of write protect, or
possibly attributes), it *should* give up gracefully.

On coco3 there is no 'sysgo'. The CC3Go is the startup job, and it
does not respawn shells if I recall. I believe this was partially the
reason for adding the 'i' option ('i'mmortal) in the new Shell.
