Hi Peter,

maybe I didn't understand what you've tried. The appended little
program sets user.dir to whatever you provide on the command line, and
invokes pwd after that. The result on my linux box with Blackdown's
JDK 1.2.2RC4:

bodewig@sbodewig ~ >pwd 
/home/bodewig
bodewig@sbodewig ~ >java Cd /tmp
/home/bodewig

so it doesn't work at my place, sorry.

Stefan
