CHDIR (CHange DIRectory)
Internal Command
The CHDIR command changes the current directory.
Syntax
CHDIR [drive:][path]subdir
CD [drive:][path]subdir
Remarks
S
ubdir
is the name of the new current subdirectory. You may use CD in
place of CHDIR.
The new directory that is to become the current directory must already
exist. Refer to MKDIR for information on the creation of subdirectories.
A series of two periods (..) may be used to indicate a move back to the
next-higher or parent directory.
Specifying only the backslash (\) for the
subdir
argument moves you to
the root directory of the current drive.
Examples
CHDIR \TOOLS
Moves you into the subdirectory named TOOLS, whose parent directory is
the root of the current drive.
CD A:

substituted to get the current directory on that drive.
