By accident I keyed in : cd //
and noticed that my prompt included both slashes. Further testing, I think, reveals a minor issue: root@billlaptop ~# pwd; cd //; echo PWD=$PWD; cd /root; echo OLDPWD=$OLDPWD /root PWD=// OLDPWD=// I don't believe PWD and OLDPWD should contain double slashes as they're supposed to be the canonical path. -- Bill Gradwohl
