Getting And Setting The Current Working Directory

Syntax	cwd cwd(directory)
See Also	isdir , listdir , mkdir

Description
If directory is not present, returns the current working directory as a character row vector. If directory is present, changes the current working directory to the one specified, where directory is a character row vector.

     cwd("c:\pmwink")
O-Matrix will respond
     F
