Changes the current drive.

Syntax

ChDrive drive

The drive named argument is a string expression that specifies an existing drive. If you supply a zero-length argument (""), the current drive doesn't change. In Microsoft Windows, if the argument drive is a multiple-character string, ChDrive uses only the first letter. On the Macintosh, ChDrive changes the current folder to the root folder of the specifed drive.
