Looking at the on line help for DirectoryStack it shows the following
example:
SetDirectory[$InstallationDirectory]
"C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\6.0"
DirectoryStack[]
{"C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\6.0",
"C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\6.0\Documentation\
English\System\ReferencePages\Symbols", "C:\Documents and
Settings\roger\My Documents"}
However when I request a DirectoryStack it never shows the top item
SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]
/Volumes/RamDisk/D1 line <--this is correct
DirectoryStack[]
"/Users/phillman5" <- missing new stack
value set above
However if I do a Directory[] I do get the top entry
Directory[]
/Volumes/RamDisk/D1 line
On starting Mathematica it shows that the DirectoryStack is empty.
Also ResetDirectory[] shows the resulting top DirectoryStack item,
not the one popped.
I am using Mathematica 7.0.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.6.8
