Hi,
i have this script to change to a directory and display the directory that 
it has changed to with some basic validations. But it display the correct 
directory and then reverts back to the directory the command was called.

------------------
$ more cwd
---------
#!/bin/sh
# change Directory and display the working directory
if [ $# -ne 0 ] ; then
   if [ -d $1 ] ; then
     cd $1 ;
   else
     echo "Directory $1 not found" ;
   fi
else
   echo
   echo "************* Arguments Expected *************"
fi
echo "Current Directory is `pwd`"
echo

Thanks,
ET
