I am trying to learn how-to-do stuff differently...


One quick question...Remember I am new at this...I wish to call a
function/exe(but in bsd) in a program..

EX:  (just say, the output is if you run the prg.)  

What dir do you wish?

(you input ) /bin

( and you goto /bin)



What I am looking for is how do I call   cd    in the program    

so then    /bin     will be placed in in front of the

cd   and goto  it.......does this make since.....
