Nick Winter's program is very useful; but the
implication here that the only alternative is
using full directory names is incorrect.
I can change to a parent directory in
Stata by
. cd ..
and to a child directory by
. cd other
and to another subdirectory in the same
directory by
. cd ..\another
or
. cd ../another
This is a little more typing than -c-, which
is where the latter clearly scores, but it
is a lot less than typing out the fullnames
(or doing it through WIMP). The idea of
going up a level of the tree, down a
level of the tree, etc. is also a pleasant
reminder of our forebears' arboreal existence.
