It works fine for me. What version are you using?

Sorry, seems to be 'cd that generates that problem, and not 'change-dir. -- Henrik

A doc note about this function:

CD allows files and words. If the word has no value, it will use it literally as the file name. For example:

bc.. cd %cvs cd cvs cd ..

This is a convenience in the CD shortcut, and it is not part of the CHANGE-DIR function definition. -Carl

There is a missing get/all in the CD source that caused this bug. This is still not fixed in the current build 81. The fixed source for CD is in Source/mezz/cd.r
