ND (NAMING_DIRECTORY) -- Set or display naming directory.
usage:  ND [pathname]


FORMAT

  ND [pathname]


  The ND command sets or displays the name of the naming directory.
  The naming directory is provided so that you may use a tilde (~)
  as a shorthand feature in pathname specifications.  It is also
  important since the system checks its COM subdirectory (~COM) as
  a part of the default command search operation.  The naming
  directory is set to the login home directory at login.


ARGUMENTS

  If no pathname is specified, the name of the current naming
  directory is displayed.

  pathname
  (optional)       Specify directory name to be used as the naming
                   directory.


EXAMPLE

  $ nd /paul/links       Set naming directory to "/paul/links".

  After execution of this command, you can use a tilde (~)
  in place of '/paul/links' at the beginning of any pathname.
  Thus "~sausage" would be the same as "/paul/links/sausage".
