Comment 4 for bug 1494008

Hi Aaron, ideally the cwd would be detected and saved directly. I *think* most of the code needed is already there. It just needs plumbing in. Each terminal stores the PID of the initial process, and using the PID the CWD of that process can be detected. Of course nested processes (shells/ssh) might make things a bit more confusing for those not fully understanding all this. Same goes for the command.

And don't worry about not having spotted the manual. It's a new creation, and perhaps not as well signposted as it should be :-)
