Shell from a folder

[David Bovill]

I'm wandering if there is any relationship between "the defaultfolder" and
where the "shell" function effectively operates from? I thought there was
but it seems not... to get the same result as I would get from the command
line I have to:

      shell_BashParamEscape pExecuteWhere

   *put* "cd" && pExecuteWhere && "&&" & space before someShell

   *put* someShell

   *put* shell (someShell) into shellResult



   /*

   -- this does not seem to work

   put the defaultfolder into oFolder

   set the defaultfolder to pExecuteWhere

   put shell (someShell) into shellResult

   set the defaultfolder to oFolder

   */



Is there a more elegant way?
