	USING DIRECTORIES AND FILES IN UNIX
		Directories are files maintained by the operating system that are used to organize and locate other files.
		The directory you are in at any point is the current working directory, which can be referred to as.
		The MM process's current working directory starts off the same as the shell's, but if you give a cd command to the shell while the MM process is suspended, or give a cd to MM, the current working directories will no longer match.

	RFC791.org file system help
		Directories are special because, although they cannot contain any data themselves, they can contain other files (including other directories).
		and.., which refer to the current directory and the parent directory (the parent is the directory that contains the current directory).
		This moves the file rock.mp3 from the current working directory to the mp3 directory inside the fileshare directory.

		The caller may specify a lock to be acquired on the final directory in the path, if a lock stronger than a share lock is desired.
		If it is a file name, the current working directory is assumed to be the directory in which the object is to reside (or already resides, in the case of removal).
		When a directory is created, the given mode is modified by the client process's umask.

	Cwd - get pathname of current working directory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		It is recommended that getcwd (or another *cwd() function) be used in all code to ensure portability.
		Each of these functions are called without arguments and return the absolute path of the current working directory.
		function is also provided on Win32 to get the current working directory on the specified drive, since Windows maintains a separate current working directory for each drive.

	The current working directory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		At any given time, commands that you type to the shell are given in terms of your current working directory.
		You can think of your working directory as the directory in which you are currently ``located''.
		Whenever you reference a file, you may refer to it in relationship to your current working directory, instead of specifying the full pathname of the file.

		Directory implements a hierarchical mapping from sos_Strings to sos_Objects together with a lookup method and a process local current working directory.
		The name of the directory itself (given with the create method) and the sos_Strings that name the entities in the directory (given with the insert method) are automatically copied into the directory container.
		The current working directory is local to a Unix process.

		This allows you to change the current directory with pushd, then use popd to "undo" the directory change when you're done.
		If current directory is '/home/mike/public_html/' it would return mike.
		When the directory is specified using chdir(), getcwd() uses the exact chdir argument.

	UNIX file system/directory structure
		When naming a file as the argument for a command, the location of the file will be assumed to be the current directory unless it is otherwise stated in that command line.
		The cd command is used to move to a different directory - in other words to change which directory is the current working directory (or default directory).
		The pwd command is used to have the shell tell you which directory is current.

	The Current Directory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The current directory is the directory under which files and other directories may be created and deleted and is a point of reference for many UNIX commands (this concept will be explored further a little later in this section).

	The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use - Files and Directories
		Directory names follow the same conventions as used with other files -- that is, no spaces, slashes, or other unusual characters are recommended.
		Directory listings will be rendered in HTML on the fly in almost all browsers, so you can click on subdirectories to traverse to them, and click on files to open them in the browser.
		To move a file or directory that is not in the current directory, give its full path name as an argument.

	Getting Started on UNIX Systems
		This means that instead of typing the complete path name of a file (or directory), one can simply type the path relative to the current working directory.
		Your home directory is your working directory when you log in, and it's one of the few parts of a UNIX system that you have write access to.
		For example, you might have a directory that you want to be accesible (like your webpage directory) but might wish to restrict access to other directories (like those where you keep your homework).

	ScriptBasic Users Guide: 12.7. Getting and setting the current working directory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This directory is not necessarily the directory where the executable code is or where the basic program is. Sloppy saying: this is the directory where the user prompt was when the user typed in the command line starting the program.
		If the directory does not exist or there is some other condition that prevents the change of the current directory an error occurs.
		The reason is that the current working directory is set for all interpreters running in the same process using this command and may generate failures in other scripts.

	Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide - Retrieving and Changing a Script's Current Working Directory
		The working directory for a script is initially set to the directory from which the script is started.
		If you are working in the C:\Temp directory, for example, and you type c:\scripts\report.vbs to run the Report.vbs script, the working directory is C:\Temp, even though the actual script file, Report.vbs, is located in the C:\Scripts directory.
		To retrieve the current directory for a script, create an instance of the WshShell object, and then echo the value of the CurrentDirectory property.

		The result of the second "pwd" command should be the same as the first, with the last directory in the path omitted.
		If you do not specify the place where you want the directory created (by giving a path as part of the directory name), the shell assumes that you want the new directory placed within the current working directory.
