lc shell and command line

[Peter Alcibiades]

I'm having trouble with the livecode shell and cd command also.

pwd in a terminal does:

     :~/  runrev 4.5/livecode-4.5.2$

cd ..

     :~/  runrev 4.5$ 

pwd

     runrev 4.5$

If you do the exact same things using put shell("...."), this doesn't work. 
In particular, 

     put shell("pwd")

does indeed return the working directory, but 

     put shell("cd ..") 

does not work at all.   Why not? Probably an obvious reason - is it
something to do with escaping characters?

Peter
