CAM June Edition Released, AmigaOS 4.0 details uncovered! : Comment 39 of 65 | ANN.lu |
Posted by T_Bone on 02-Jun-2003 09:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (mahen): MS/DOS is better because C: gives you the last directory accessed in the C drive; while C:\ gives the root directory of the C drive.
> For instance :
> C:\
> cd Games
> D:\
> C:
> (you're in C:\games)
> I don't think it's possible with amigaDOS
Check out the "PCD" command.
PCD
Like the CD command, the PCD script changes the current directory. However, PCD also remembers the directory from which you are changing, so you can return to it without entering the entire path. Each Shell has an independent PCD memory.
The first time you use PCD in a given Shell, you must give it the path to a directory. When entered with this path argument, PCD has the same effect as CD, changing to the named directory, but it also stores the path to the directory from which you changed. You can then change the current directory by the usual methods. To return to the initial directory, enter PCD alone. For example:
1.System:> PCD Work:Paint/24bit
1.Work:Paint/24bit> PCD
1.System:>
Subsequent invocations of PCD switch to the directory in which you last used PCD:
1.System:> PCD
1.Work:Paint/24bit> /
1.Work:Paint> PCD
1.System:>
PCD use the assign list to store the remembered directory. When you use PCD, the list contains the assignment from<n>, where <n> is the Shell number. Using PCD with no argument before establishing the first from directory produces an error requester. |
