> currentdir(); # this returns the current directory
                        "C:\Program Files\Maple 13.02"

> currentdir("d:/test");  # this changes the directory to "d:/test", but returns the old current directory
                        "C:\Program Files\Maple 13.02"

> currentdir(); # check that it worked
                                   "d:\test"

> read "myfile.mpl"; # should read it from d:\test

Note that you use "/" as the directory separator, not "\": you could also use "\\".
