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.
EXAMPLE
1. To change directory to df0:libs
CD DF0:LIBS
2. To report current directory
CD
3. To make any disk in Drive 0 the current directory
