Can I make "cd" in shell work like eshell?

Can I make "cd" in shell work like eshell?

[C K Kashyap]

Hi,
I am doing some windows development these days for which I find "shell"
more suitable than eshell.
However, when I do cd and visit a directory in shell and then I do c-x - f,
it does not open in the cd'ed location. How can I make that happen?
Regards,
Kashyap

Shell mode tries its best to keep track of your current directory, but it can't always.

You can synch shell-mode with the shell inside it by M-<RET> (M-x shell-resync-dirs).

Be careful though! You have to be at a shell prompt since emacs runs a command and then uses its output to figure out the current directory.

Thanks Doug ... for some reason I find that things are working on its own.
Shell cd is indeed changing the current dir :)
