NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       mcd  -  mtools utility to change or report the DOS working
       directory

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       mcd [msdosdirectory]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       Without arguments, the mcd  command  reports  the  current
       device  and working directory.  Otherwise, the mcd command
       changes the current device and current  working  directory
       relative to a DOS file system.  Unlike the DOS command CD,
       the mcd command can be used to change to another device.

       The environment variable MCWD can be used  to  locate  the
       file where the device and current working directory information
 is stored.  The default is $HOME/.mcwd.   The  file
       is  created  if  it does not exist and a msdosdirectory is
       specified.

       DOS pathnames that contain the '/' or  '\'  separator  are
       supported.  If you use the '\' separator or wildcards, you
       must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the
       shell.

       The  mcd  command  supports  the  use  of to move back one
       directory in the tree, however,  multiple  relative  moves
       such  as  are not supported and do not affect your current
       position in the directory tree.
