Changing Directories
You can use any directory as your current or working directory.
To change to a different directory, type
CHDIR
(or
CD )
followed by the pathname of the directory you want to use.
For example, to change from any directory to the directory
LEDGER (which is a subdirectory of the root directory), type
the following and press Enter:
CD \LEDGER
The backslash identifies the LEDGER directory as a
subdirectory of the root directory. Once you are working within
a directory, you can access any of the files it contains without
typing the full pathname.
To change to a subdirectory within the current directory, you
do not need to type the backslash. For example, to change to
the SALES subdirectory while you are working in LEDGER,
type the following and press Enter:
CD SALES
3-12
