Associates a working folder with a specific project. This variable is automatically set by the Set Working Directory command. It is recommended that you do not set this variable manually.
Dir = directory path
Associates the directory C:\Word with the project $/Word:
[$/WORD]
Dir (PC) = C:\WORD
When you are working on a project, you generally have a local directory, on your hard disk or on the network, where you keep your source code and work on the project.
The Dir command displays where your working directory for a particular project is stored. When you change to a new project, VSS automatically sets your working directory to this directory.
The use of the Dir variable can be further strengthened by setting either or both of the Force_Dir and Force_Prj variables to Yes.
