PSHELL changes directory

[vefatica]

When there is no persistent PowerShell interpreter PSHELL changes the current working directory to %SYSTEMROOT\System32. It does not do this if a persistent PowerShell interpreter is running,

v:\> pshell /c

v:\> pshell /s "echo foo"
foo

c:\windows\system32> v:

v:\> pshell /s "echo foo"
foo

v:\>

There's an alias for that;

e:\utils>which pshell
pshell is an alias : *pshell %@pshell[set-location '%_cwd']

That doesn't seem to work if there's no persistent PowerShell interpreter running. And if there is a PowerShell interpreter running, there is no problem.

v:\> which pshell
pshell is an alias : *pshell %@pshell[set-location '%_cwd']

v:\> pshell /c

v:\> pshell /s "echo foo"
foo

c:\windows\system32>

This one works.

alias pshell `set ocwd=%_cwds & *pshell %$ & %ocwd & unset /q ocwd`

Here's another.

v:\> which pshell
pshell is an alias : setlocal & *pshell %$ & endlocal

v:\> pshell /c

v:\> pshell /s "echo foo"
foo

v:\> [code]

But I don't think an alias should be needed ... eh?
