So you can in MS-DOS 6.x (and up?) :)
However the man pages do contain more information. However I would assume
to many getting "int chdir(char *directory)" (IIRC) when they want to know
how to change directory in the shell is kind of confusing. Ok, I don�t know
if that comes first, but it could come up since the man pages contain a bit
too many diffrent things.
