I had already tried many different ways of specifying the target directory
before giving up and asking for help.

The suggestions concerning a cd alias seem promising because at one time I had
RVM installed, which does override cd. There is no alias present but there are
artefacts of rvm scattered about so I will check these.

Thanks for the help.
