  dir needs no confirmation if not invoked from tty !
look into directory_command source :
void
directory_command (dirname, from_tty)
     char *dirname;
     int from_tty;
{
  dont_repeat ();
  /* FIXME, this goes to "delete dir"... */
  if (dirname == 0)
    {
      if (from_tty && query ("Reinitialize source path to empty? "))
	{
	  free (source_path);
	  init_source_path ();
	}
    }

I think its because y is not a valid GDB command !
