                              CHDIR──Examples
 
Either of the following commands changes your current directory to the
directory named PRIMETIM:
 
    chdir \primetim
 
    cd \primetim
 
Suppose you have a directory named SPECIALS with a subdirectory named
SPONSORS. To change your current directory to \SPECIALS\SPONSORS, type the
following command:
 
    cd \specials\sponsors
 
Or, if your current directory is \SPECIALS, you can use the following
command to change to the \SPECIALS\SPONSORS directory:
 
    cd sponsors
 
To change from a subdirectory back to the parent directory, type the
following command:
 
    cd..
 
To display the name of the current directory, you can use CHDIR or CD
without a parameter. For example, if your current directory is \PUBLIC\JONES
on the disk in drive B, type CHDIR to see the following response:
 
    B:\PUBLIC\JONES
 
If you are working on drive D and you want to copy all files in the
\PUBLIC\JONES and \PUBLIC\LEWIS directories on drive C to the root directory
on drive D, type the following commands:
 
    chdir c:\public\jones
    copy c:*.* d:\
    chdir c:\public\lewis
    copy c:*.* d:\
 
If, instead, you want to copy all files in the \PUBLIC\JONES and
\PUBLIC\LEWIS directories to your current location on drive D, type the
following commands:
 
    chdir c:\public\jones
    copy c:*.* d:
    chdir c:\public\lewis
    copy c:*.* d:
 
For more information on copying files, see the <COPY> command.
