cd Beginner Help

Use the cd command to change from the working (current) directory to
another directory. A "/" (slash) at the beginning of a pathname means
"begin at the root directory". So, to get to the directory containing
the On-line Book Initiative texts, type:

   world%  cd /obi

If a directory is not specified, the value of shell parameter $HOME is
used as the new working directory.  Therefore, using the cd command
without an argument will return you to your home directory, by
default.

   world%  cd   

To change to one directory level above the working directory, type:

   world%  cd ..

So, for example, if the path to your current directory is
/sources/macintosh, typing cd .. would change it to /sources.
