Hello Moritz,

two reasons I use to cd to mapset directory :
- general - that described by Nikos, like browsing data via bash
commands;
- particular - the wish to keep a mapset-specific directory I usually
call "ps"; it contains settings files for my recursive ps.map runs,
refering each to a saved region. To my mind this kind of data is
strongly linked to the geodatabase structure, particularly in long-term
cartographic projects.

Another point is that working on a bunch of gisdbases, I am trying to
avoid data scattering, for archiving convenience mainly. But files are
mainly stored at the gisdbase level.

Concerning my first issue: the home-made g.cd script suits me well.

Thank you both for your points of view !
Vincent.
