Hello Ed,
To get the current working directory one should use the methods
TSystem::pwd();
What about cd() I found no method TSystem::cd() at all.
There is TSystem::cd(const char *path).
What you suggest means the method should return its own input parameter.
That is not very useful. The method cd returns the replaced directory,
i.e. one we have changed with the "path".

It seems to me this is the "Correct" behavior of cd method:
Bool_t cd(const char *path) { return ChangeDirectory(path); }
Because TWinNTSystem::ChangeDirectoiry() return the previous directory
There is no means to return the inout parameters.
Rhe proper method to get the current working directory is
TSystem::HomeDirectory()
