|    About setlocal/endlocal...    |

      From: gazelle@shell.xmission.com              Interesting point here - curious if people have any memory of the history       of this.              ISTR that, back in the day, setlocal/endlocal did not preserve the current       directory info on drives other than the current one. I.e., something like:              C:       cd X:\foo\bar       setlocal       cd X:\Bob\Carol       endlocal       cd X:              would display X:\Bob\Carol at the final line. I.e., it would not get       restored to X:\foo\bar.              However, I just tested this on an XP system (with CMD.EXE), and it does do       the right thing.       (I.e., it goes back to X:\foo\bar)              Am I remembering things wrong, or did this change at some point?              And if it was changed, did it break any existing code?              --       No puppet.       No puppet.       You're a puppet.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
