[Coco] wdir command?

[Bill Pierce]

I'm pretty sure wdir was on delphi or cis. I know I had it in the 90s, so it had to be somewhere public. But I also had a friend who was on the "Raliegh Coco BBS" which was in Kevin's hometown here in NC, and he used to get Kevin's 'updates' before they were on delphi, so I may have gotten it from him.

I don’t think so, Sean. I don’t recall ever owning or using GShell+, and the disks on which I’m finding wdir are otherwise pretty minimal boot environments.
