I don't know the answer to that.

The more I think about this, the more I feel you should probably use
'screen'.  Try this:

ssh remotemachine

cd /some/directory

screen
( now hit enter or spacebar if it asks you to )

ls
( now hit Ctrl-a, then hit c )
( you now have a new screen session, in the same directory as your previous one )

pwd
( now hit Ctrl-a, then hit " )
( you now see a list of your active screens.  Choose the first one and you'll see the 'ls' command that you ran earlier )


Do a 'man screen' and look for the section called 'DEFAULT KEY BINDINGS'
Take note that when they say 'C-a', that stands for 'Control-a'

While you are at it, read up on detaching and re-attaching in screen.
