That is why the current directory appears not to have changed when the cd is done. It actually was changed, but in the new shell, and was not returned to the old shell. I missed it in the documentation the first time, but now that I go back to it I see that the makefile should include the following: (cd smodel ; cd ; ...) rather than: cd smodel cd ... So, to answer my own question: it WAS some subtle thing I missed. My apologies for the false alarm. - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 2.0-1 at Indiana University. creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu "Go tell your master we are on a quest for the Holy Grail!"
