Help, directory

I am try to allow the user to type in the destination he wanan go, e.g. /home/eflt001/XXXXX, I have already done the Form.input part.....I wanna use Text objects as the next object ........i.e. after he has entered the path, hitting F3 key, the text object will list the files of the directory he specified.....how to do so?

isn't it as simple as

`cd $name`
text=`ls` ??

$name is the variable that holds the input from the user.

But it didn't work .....it lists the files but never go to the directory which the user specifies.

NAME
nwtrustee - List an object's trustee directory assignments SYNOPSIS
nwtrustee [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -l volume number ] [ -L volume name ] [ -O object id ] [ -o object name ] [ -t object type ] [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
nwtrustee lists the trustee directory assignments a user has on a specific volume. nwtrustee looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwtrustee prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -O object id The bindery object id of the user whose assignments should be listed. Alternatively, use -o object name. -o object name The name of the user whose assignments should be listed. -t object type The type of object whose assignments should be listed. This defaults to 1, which means user. Another sensible value is 2, which means group. -v Verbose listing. Also list the specific rights that are assigned to the user. AUTHORS
