A.4.  )cd
==============================================================================
 
User Level Required:  interpreter
 
Command Syntax: 
 
  -  )cd directory
 
Command Description: 
 
This command sets the OpenAxiom working current directory. The current
directory is used for looking for input files (for )read), OpenAxiom
library source files (for )compile), saved history environment files
(for )history )restore), compiled OpenAxiom library files (for
)library), and files to edit (for )edit).  It is also used for writing
spool files (via )spool), writing history input files (via )history
)write) and history environment files (via )history )save), and
compiled OpenAxiom library files (via )compile). 
 
If issued with no argument, this command sets the OpenAxiom current
directory to your home directory. If an argument is used, it must be a
valid directory name. Except for the ``)'' at the beginning of the
command, this has the same syntax as the operating system cd command.
