OK? What do you think: @table @code @kindex set cwd @cindex change inferior's working directory @item set cwd @r{[}@var{directory}@r{]} Set the inferior's working directory to @var{directory}, which will be @code{glob}-expanded in order to resolve tildes (@file{~}). If no argument has been specified, the command clears the setting and resets it to an empty state. This setting has no effect on @value{GDBN}'s working directory, and it only takes effect the next time you start the inferior. ? -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/
