Changing Directories in the middle of an NCL script

We¹re using NCL to do some processing that will require us to change
directory ³amid-script.² In other words, we¹ll be doing something in dir1
and then needing to cd into dir2 and do something else.

doing it this way...

system(³cd DIR1²)
system(³do_what_im_doing_in_DIR1²)
system(³cd DIR2²)
system(³do_what_im_doing_in_DIR2²)

...doesn¹t do it...

There is a need to do this

There is an equivalent command in IDL, but is there one NCL? Or do I need
to run a script in each directory, starting each with a shell command.
