- CHDIR Used for moving from one directory on a hard
- disk or diskette to another. The CHDIR (Change
- Directory) command is often abbreviated to CD.
-
- Format: CHDIR (or CD) [D:Path]
-
-
- Example: CHDIR \ -or- CD \ -or- CD\
-
- Changes the directory that you are currently working
- in to the ROOT directory of the CURRENT drive. (Does
- NOT change drive location.)
-
- Example: CHDIR \123 -or- CD \123 -or- CD\123
-
- Changes the directory that you are currently working
- in to the \123 sub-directory on the CURRENT drive.
-
- Example: CHDIR \123\DATA -or- CD\123\DATA
-
- Changes the directory that you are currently working
- in to the \123\DATA sub-directory.
-
- Example: CHDIR .. -or- CD..
-
- Changes the directory that you are currently working
- in to its immediate PARENT directory. (e.g., If the
- CURRENT directory is D:\123\DATA, this command will
- move you to the D:\123 directory. If you issued the
- command again it would move you to the D:\ (root)
- directory, which is the PARENT of D:\123 directory.)
-
- [*] DOS does not allow you to change BOTH the drive
- and the directory using a single command. To change
- drives simply enter the letter designator for the
- drive you want to access followed by a ":". (e.g.,
- C:, D:, E:, etc and press <ENTER>.) Then issue the
- appropriate CHDIR command for the CURRENT drive.
