17. 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 [\] has special significance inside double-quotes. For example,
 
     cd "c:\newdata"
fails, but
 
     cd 'c:\newdata'
works as expected.
