Thread Subject: Problem with command "cd"

I have a problem with the command 'cd'.

For example: my current directory is I:\research\homework\hw1

1. command cd('\research') works.
2. command cd('\homework') does not work.

Could anybody kindly help me on this? I don't understand the logic here.

Thank you very much.

You can do
cd('\research')
cd('homework')

or

cd('\research\homework')

The problem you have is that '\' specified root, and homework is not relative to root.
