In reverse order:
When you change directories in a child process, when the child process exits, the parent proces (the one that called the script) is where it started. No change. Code:
. myscript.sh It makes the process run in the parent, not a child. So, if the script changes directories it will "stick" in the parent process. The first question Code:
echo "enter something \c" read i # notice NO $ in front of i echo "$i" # now we need a $
