[Coco] Another Coco Virtual Disk Util

[Walt Zydhek]

Fixed the ".." issue. ".." and "." were indeed being created, but both were
pointing to their directories instead of ".." pointing to the parent.

Another quick note. It appears that directories copies using EmuDisk do not
contain the .. and . entries at the beginning of the directory. Because of
this, you cannot chd/cd backwards using chd/cd .., ..., or any other number
of levels deep you are. I tested this by making a directory, cd'ing to that
directory and then backing out using cd .. . It worked. CD to a dir copied
in EmuDisk, cd .. results in no change, you are still in the same directory.

Hope this helps.
