[Scilab-users] Can't get current directory

[Gerard Awanou]

Hi

 cd /Users/gerardawanou/

gives

ans  =

  "/Users/gerardawanou"

[a,b]=getversion()

gives

a  =

  "scilab-branch-6.1"
 b  =

  "GCC"  "x64"  "release"  "Jan 19 2021"  "19:28:01"

Adding bin/sh solves the problem. Sorry I thought that would be equivalent
to full disc access.

Thank you very much.

Gerard
