Please, you need a basic training in Unix programming.  That's beyond
what could be given you in Usenet.

You should either know how to use man pages (but this assumes you know
at least the language C), or you should pick a good book on this.
(``Programming in the UNIX environment'' -- was it by Stevens?  Dunno,
i haven't learned it by books, but i'm certain it took me more than a
week to learn Unix programming.)

In case you wanna pick the man page route, type:

	man 2 chdir

at the prompt.  The `2' is the section number from the manual, the
above is often refered to as ``chdir(2)'', i.e. the section number is
written in paren's.
