 =================================

    Two useful functions that are not in 'awk' are 'chdir()' (so that an
 'awk' program can change its directory) and 'stat()' (so that an 'awk'
 program can gather information about a file).  In order to illustrate
 the API in action, this minor node implements these functions for 'gawk'
 in an extension.
