Cd

The cd command changes the working directory.

Syntax:

     cd '<directory-name>'

The directory name must be enclosed in quotes.

Examples:

     cd 'subdir'
     cd ".."

DOS users must use single-quotes -- backslash [3#3] has special significance inside double-quotes. For example,

     cd "c:\newdata"

fails, but
     cd 'c:\newdata'

works as expected.
