Using some old DOS utility names here are PUSHDIR.CMD & POPDIR.CMD. You
will need to modify the location of the file named original to match your
system.

/* pushdir */
/* save current drive & directory in the file named original */
'{at}ECHO OFF'
'cd > g:\os2\apps\original' 

/* rexx  to change to the drive and directory stored in */
/* the file named original */
'{at}ECHO OFF'
destination = LINEIN("g:\os2\apps\original",1,1)
CD destination
left(destination,2)
