What does alias cd say?

And:

Code:
ls -la /home/kit/antplot/

Oops, my bad. I'm used to seeing the directory in the line.

Same error as the full pathname in plain old bash.

There's no alias to cd. I have alot of aliases to change to different directories but none to just cd.

Could you provide output of the above, please!
Code:
bash --norc
pwd
/home/kit/antplot/ccantplot
pwd

As you can see I can run the contents of ccantplot directly, but I can't run ccantplot.

My apologies I thought that I'd already posted it.
