In GNU Emacs 18.58.1 of Wed Apr  8 1992 on yoyo (berkeley-unix)

This is a followon to the previous message.

I suggest adding an "update current working directory" command
to shell mode.  It could be M-x update-cwd or it could be
on a key like "C-c .".  It would figure out the current directory
of the running shell and make Emacs notice.  It could work by sending
"pwd" to the shell, then reading and erasing the output from the buffer.
