Subject: Multiple commands in shell

I'm trying to run multiple commands in the shell from ruby but I can't
seem to grasp how I keep the "state" from the previous shell command.

For example, how would I perform the following sequence of commands in
ruby:

1. cd /dir
2. ls

Not counting "ls /dir" that is ;)

I've tried using:

system "cd /dir"
system "ls"

..but it doesn't work.

Thanks!
