      mcd - change MSDOS directory

      Without  arguments, _\bm_\bc_\bd will report the current device and
      working directory.  Otherwise,  _\bm_\bc_\bd  changes  the  current
      device  and current working directory relative to an MSDOS
      filesystem.

      The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate  the
      file where the device and current working directory infor-
      mation is stored.  The default is '$HOME/.mcwd'.  Informa-
      tion  in  this  file is ignored if the file is more than 6
      hours old.

      MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
      or  '\'  separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wild-
      cards will require the directory name to  be  enclosed  in
      quotes to protect it from the shell.

      MSDOS doesn't use CD to change to another device.

      It may be wise to remove old .mcwd files at logout.
