CD Change Directory (Move to New Data Path)

The CD command is used to change the current Data Path (file folder) where Blossom is operating.

In the Windows version of Blossom, after installation the Data Path is the Installed BLOSSOM/SAMPLES directory. A record is kept by Blossom of subsequent changes of the Data Path when a CD, USE, or SUBMIT command is used. New Windows Blossom sessions will begin in the last used Data Path.

In the Console version of Blossom, the initial Data Path is always in the current working directory where the program is invoked. Subsequent CD commands can be used to navigate the file system. A record is kept of the location of the Data Path. Subsequent Windows Blossom sessions will begin in the last used Data Path (including Console sessions).
