I'm having alittle problem getting this to work, using the example:

; ChangeDir example

ChangeDir "c:winntsystem32"
Print "The folder has been changed to: " + currentdir$()

It doesnt work !!

Also the text says "directory/path = full path to directory/folder"

does that mean you put the name of the folder, then the path ?? ie.. program files/c:

So.. how do I change the directory from where ever it currently is to "C:\program files".

And, for some reason - this doesnt work:

a$=CurrentDir$
a=Len(a$)

It reports back with a length of '0' ???

Please Help !!!
