wd (working_directory) -- Set or display the current working directory.
usage: wd [pathname]



DESCRIPTION
     wd sets the working directory for the current process to the specified
     directory.  The working directory is where the system looks for objects
     when you don't explicitly specify a directory as a part of a pathname.

ARGUMENTS
     pathname (optional)
               Specify new working directory.  This may be a derived name, but
               must point to a directory or link to a directory.  Specifying a
               file causes an error.  wd also accepts the command-line parser
               argument "*".

               Default if omitted: display current working directory

EXAMPLES
     Set new working directory.  Display the new setting.

     $ wd //fred/jtj
     $ wd
     //fred/jtj


     Set working directory with derived name.  Display the new setting.

     $ wd stuff/revised
     $ wd
     //fred/jtj/stuff/revised

     Direct input to a file named newdir that holds the name of the new
     working directory.

     $ wd *newdir
     $
