graphics\overbutt.gifChanging directories

You can change directories using the Change Directory command (cd) . The new directory becomes the working directory. You can use absolute or relative path names to specify the directory to which you want to change. Use a relative path name when you want to change to a subdirectory within your working directory. Use an absolute path name to change to a directory outside your working directory. For information about relative and absolute path names, see "Navigating the file system."

You can use a variation of the cd command to switch from your working directory to its parent directory, or the directory where your working directory is located.
