screen: Chdir
6.1 Chdir
=========
-- Command: chdir [directory]
(none)
Change the current directory of 'screen' to the specified directory
or, if called without an argument, to your home directory (the
value of the environment variable '$HOME'). All windows that are
created by means of the 'screen' command from within '.screenrc' or
by means of 'C-a : screen ...' or 'C-a c' use this as their default
directory. Without a 'chdir' command, this would be the directory
from which 'screen' was invoked. Hardcopy and log files are always
written to the _window's_ default directory, _not_ the current
directory of the process running in the window. You can use this
command multiple times in your '.screenrc' to start various windows
in different default directories, but the last 'chdir' value will
affect all the windows you create interactively.
