Oh yeah...  You probably didnt notice a change because your prompt didn't
change.  It can be configured to show the current working directory.  In DOS
it does so by default.  Some distros will be configured that way by
default.  You will learn how to change the prompt eventually by changing the
environment variable PS1 (in bash or other sh variants).
