I posted a program called MyCLI to this newsgroup that does CD's inside
a program.  YOU MUST HAVE THE "RUN" PROGRAM IN YOUR C: DIRECTORY for
the Execute() function to work at all.  Using Execute() to do a CD is
overkill, though.  See MyCLI.c for an example of how to use the AmigaDos
CurrentDirectory() function, or consult your AmigaDos technical reference
guide.
