About the CHDIR Command
R:BASE assumes you want to work in the current directory and drive. To display the current drive and directory, enter CHDIR without a path.
CHDIR is similar to the CHDIR command in the operating system; however, the R:BASE CHDIR command requires a space between the command and the directory. For more information about the CHDIR command, refer to your operating system manual.
CHDIR supports long (over 80 character) strings, and long strings with spaces.
