When you are in the shell type 'help().' which produces a somewhat long list of
functions that can be called directly within the shell.

The function that changes the current working directory (I think you are
looking for something like that) would be:
	cd(Dir).

You may then simply type 'c(mymodule).' or 'l(mymodule).' to compile and load
or just load if it has already been compiled.
