Andrew--

    The OS/2 REXX command you want is DIRECTORY.  There is an example of
just what you want under this entry in the OS/2 Library "Prodecure
Language 2/ REXX Reference."

.... Here 'tis:
    /* get current directory */
    curdir = directory()
    /* go play a game */
    newdir = directory("d:\usr\games")
    if newdir = "d:/usr/games" then
        do
        fortune /* tell a fortune */
    /* return to former directory */
        call directory(curdir)
        end
    else
        say 'Can't find \usr\games'
....end of sample
