What do we do with those commands ? See mail thread : Rép : Do we need this fix for G4VBasicShell.cc?

Anyway, another thing, is it normal that when we type "help" we do not have "zero-level" commands as"cd","pwd","ls";"history","help","exit" ?
I mean, there is no completion, and I don't find theses command in the doc.

These commands are special in that they are not true Geant4 commands.They are really only instructions to the G4UITerminal.They are handled by the interface, but not passed on to Geant4 proper.They cannot, for example, be issued from macros or issued from c++ calls within Geant4.
See slide 11 from Makoto's presentation:http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/SLACTutorial09/UserInterface1.pdf

I have seen this presentation, but no way to find a description elsewhere. Do we have to add this to documentation ?

I think this is up to Makoto.  It's his code.
