Seems interesting. We already have \c overloaded with stuff like
connect, copy, and copyright, so I guess another one wouldn't hurt. I
will keep this for 7.2. Thanks.

(Sorry for the repost. I have amended my previous patch
with feedback that outputs the new current directory.)

Here's a patch for a \cd (change dir) command in psql program.
It's very small and only adds a few lines.
Personally, I am surprised psql does not have this command.
It is EXTREMELY useful when \include'ing SQL scripts to set
up a database schema.

Hope you like,

P.S. I am not on the 'psql-patches' list, so responses should
be sent directly to me for more info or questions.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
