ChDir Changes Current Directory
ChDir(DirPath : <string>); [TP]
Changes the current drive and directory. This procedure is the
equivalent of the 'CD' command under MS-DOS, but this service can also
change the active drive, whereas MS-DOS's CD will not change the
active drive.
DirPath Any legal pathname; if no drive is specified, the
current drive is assumed. If the pathname does not
start with a backslash ('\'), the pathname is relative
to the current directory.
Notes: If the pathname is not a valid one, an I/O error 1
($1) occurs at run time. If you have disabled I/O
errors with the {$I-} compiler option, IOResult
returns a value of 1 ('File not found').
If only a drive is specified, ChDir makes the drive
specified the new active drive.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
ChDir('C:\DOCS\ADDR');
ChDir('..'); { Move to this directory's parent }
ChDir('A:'); { Log onto drive A: }
