- CD(V1.3 in C:) (2.x/3.x Internal)
-
-
-
- NAME
- CD - Report or change the current directory.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- CD Dir
-
- DESCRIPTION
- CD when given a valid directory name, makes that
- directory the current or default working directory. To
- display the current directory, type CD without any
- arguments.
-
- It also has a simple pattern matching capability.
- You may use a wildcard specification as an argument to
- CD, CD will make the first directory it finds that
- matches the pattern the current directory. Pattern
- matching is utilized with the Amiga wildcards).
-
- You can also move up one directory by using multiple
- slashes (/). For instance, if the current directory is:
- Work:Art/AGA by typing CD // you will change to the Work:
- directory.
-
- 2.x/3.x only: You can also change directories by
- simply typing the path name at the shell prompt without
- typing 'CD'. The CD command is only needed if there are
- any spaces in the path name. In this case you must place
- the entire path in quotes.
-
- NB: AmigaDOS handles default drives unlike any other
- personal computer. Let's say you insert a disk named
- Stuff: in df0: and type CD df0:. Then, you remove the
- disk and insert a disk named Things: and type dir df0:,
- you will be requested to insert Stuff: in df0:. To get
- around this, merely type Cd df0: whenever a new disk is
- inserted. This makes your Amiga read the new volume label
- and it forgets all about the old disk.
