Changing Directory Within NCL Script

Hello,

I had wanted to change the current working
directory within my NCL script. I had
tried doing system("cd NewDir"), which
did not work. Testing with
system("cd NewDir; ls") confirmed that
the new directory was changed to within
the subshell of the system() command, but
the current dir of the parent shell stayed
the same.

In the talk archives I had seen responses
to the same question which also suggested
using system("cd NewDir"). Does this
really work for someone ?

Thanks, Bruce
