| .SH Description |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR command is used to change the mtools working directory |
| on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syntax: |
| .PP |
| |
| .nf |
| .ft 3 |
| .in +0.3i |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWmcd [\fImsdosdirectory\fR\&\f(CW] |
| .fi |
| .in -0.3i |
| .ft R |
| .PP |
| |
| \&\fR |
| .PP |
| Without arguments, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR reports the current device and working |
| directory. Otherwise, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR changes the current device and current |
| working directory relative to an MS-DOS file system. |
| .PP |
| The environmental variable \fR\&\f(CWMCWD\fR may be used to locate the file |
| where the device and current working directory information is stored. |
| The default is \fR\&\f(CW\(if$HOME/.mcwd\(is\fR. Information in this file is ignored |
| if the file is more than 6 hours old. |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMcd\fR returns 0 on success or 1 on failure. |
| .PP |
| Unlike MS-DOS versions of \fR\&\f(CWCD\fR, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR can be used to change to |
| another device. It may be wise to remove old \fR\&\f(CW\(if.mcwd\(is\fR files at logout. |

| .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc |
| This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo |
| documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some |
| items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this |
| translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate |
| representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has |
| been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to |
| use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for |
| instructions how to view the texinfo doc. |

| The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in |
| the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the |
| quoting conventions used in info. |
