1) When I want to run a program on an other directory in a program I do
   like this:

   \<< ... { HOME BINP ASC\-> } PP ... \>>

   This program runs ASC\-> on directory BINP under HOME.
   PP (Path Program ) is on HOME and looks like this:

   \<< PATH \-> path \<< EVAL path EVAL \>> \>>

2) If you just want to jumb to the directory BINP just key in:
   { HOME BINP } EVAL
