[BUG][SHELL] Could Others Please Test This OS X/Linux

[Håkan Lilegren]

$PWD should start at the current working directory, and that is not the same if you run the command in the terminal or if you runit from your program. You will (and should) get different answers. Even if you run in the IDE compared to a standalone. 

If you want the home catalog you can use $HOME or ~. If you still get different answers it is of course a bug. Will test when I get to my computer.
