Hi!

As you may know, GDB supports an ini-file (it's GDB.INI in DJGPP I believe)
which is just a series of commands GDB executes when GDB is started.
For most commands, this works perfectly, but not with the 'directory'
command. This command should add a directory to the searchpath for source
files. It works when typed at the GDB prompt, but not when it's a part of
the GDB.INI. I tested this behaviour on a Unix machine (with GDB 4.13), and
it does work there!

Is this a bug in GDB/DJGPP or am I doing something wrong?

DGreetings,
