[thelist] OT Unix Commands

[Salvatore Palmisano]

Am I correct in believing I can use a UNIX script in similar fashion to a
DOS file?
In DOS, if I type the following in a *.bat file, it will process the
commands if I type the file.bat name at a prompt:
cd directory1/directory2

For a class Im taking thats using UNIX, Ive attempted to do this, but its
not working:
file named update.  Update contains:
cd directory/directory2

when typing update at the UNIX prompt, nothing happens.  No error message,
just the root directory as if I hadnt typed anything.

Did I miss a step.  Thanks and sorry for the OT.
