My default working directory is getting very cluttered. I know that I should be using a different working directory for each project (I work in Windows), but do not know how to go about creating different ones and moving back and forth between them. I have read Venables & Ripley (Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS, 1994) but this seems out of date with respect to this topic and have searched through the documentation but cannot find a clear explanation for doing this. Can someone point me to the proper documentation for creating and using different working directories from within Windows (please, no comments about switching to UNIX...). Thanks.
