Subject: Re: [MiNT] 'cd' does not like u:

if $SYSDIR in to function for the shell (bash, sh, etc) t should
contain /c/mint.., but how does this affect current TOS apps, is
$SYSDIR used in its current form.

Currently its only used to locate xaaes.km (any maybe other modules) AFAIK.

I use it in KeyEdit to find the current keyboard layout file.

Should the change rather be anything TOS/GEM getting a root (nix) dir
auto resolve to U:/

Maybe its possible to respect the Domain of the caller. MiNT: /c/, TOS: u:\c\.

I don't like this. MiNT is not unix. I'd rather see that the code that doesn't understand 'u:\...' is fixed.
