PATHNAME

1.1; wd (working_directory), revision 1.1, 81/06/27.
WD (WORKING_DIRECTORY) -- Set or display the current working directory.
usage:  WD [pathname]


FORMAT

  WD [pathname]


  WD sets the working directory for the current process to the
  specified directory.  The working directory is where the system
  looks for objects when you don't explicitly specify a directory
  as a part of a pathname.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (optional)       Specify new working directory.  This may be a
                   derived name, but must point to a directory or
                   link to a directory.  Specifying a file will
                   cause an error.
                   Default if omitted: display current working directory.


EXAMPLES

  $ wd //et/jtj               Set new working directory.
  $ wd                        Display the new setting.
  //et/jtj
  $ wd cmds/revised           Set new working directory using derived name.
  $ wd                        Display the new setting.
  //et/jtj/cmds/revised
