In _vimrc I first did:

However, it complained that it couldn't find this in cdpath: E344:
Can't find directory "c:\vim-text" in cdpath.

So, I tried, in several ways, to set cdpath in _vimrc, prior to the
above ":set cd ...".  There were no complaints about that statement,
but I still got the same error msg as above re the ":set  cd..."

I did look at the :help for cdpath and path. Tried to use them as a
model.

First, the help for 'cdpath' says: "..., provided that the directory being searched
    for has a relative path, not an absolute part" .   I'm assuming

* c:\ implies that you're on windows, not on linux looking for a path such as /some/path/c:\vim-text

Other than that the cdpath doesn't apply to absolute paths, if it did, you'd want

:set cd=c:\vim-text

By putting that extra space in there Vim assumes you're attempting to set two options; you should be getting

  E518: Unknown option: c:\vim-text

when you try it.
