Angry Still not what i was looking for : Please help !!!

Dear all,

Im sorry to keep going on about this but i honestly do need to make a bourne shell script change the working directory of the current shell.

Is there really no simple switch to enable this operation ???

I will add a quick example to illustrate :

#################################################
#!/usr/bin/sh

echo "1. Starting Project Script from = `pwd`" ### /home/fawqati
echo "2. Please Enter Project Name : " ### vega
project_name=readline
echo " Entering Project /des/proj/$project_name " ### /des/proj/vega
cd /des/proj/$project_name

##################################################

After this executes i am still in /home/fawqati and NOT
in /des/proj/<project_name>

This is a real problem and i would be extremely gratefull for some help.


Sincerly
