the better is to include.. in hard the path... in your case, the cd command is 
not usefull

:

Dim sMyBasePath, sResult as String

sMyBasePath = "/home/richard/coding"

Shell "ls al " & sMyBasePath AS sResult

Print sResult



or

EXEC ["ls", "al", sMyBasePath] as sResult

Print sResult

No need of process too...

You have this too... (in gambas keywords)

Print Dir(sMyBasePath).Join("\n")
