Parameters:
path
A string argument specifying the path to change to.
Return Value:

Description:
Changes the current drive and directory to that specified.
Examples:
Dim pathname As String = "x:\folder"
Dim result As Integer = ChDir(pathname)
If 0 <> result Then Print "error changing current directory to " & pathname & "."
Dim result As Integer = ChDir(pathname)

Platform Differences:
- Linux requires the filename case matches the real name of the file. Windows and DOS are case insensitive.
- Path separators in Linux are forward slashes / . Windows uses backward slashes \ but it allows for forward slashes . DOS uses backward \ slashes.
