     DIRCHANGE() changes the current subdirectory or determines if a
     directory exists.  This allows DOS error messages to be intercepted.
     (See also DIRMAKE()).

 Note

     .  <cDirectory> may contain a drive designator and a path.
        Wildcards are not allowed.

 Example

     Change to the "\DATA" directory:

     IF DIRCHANGE("\DATA") == 0
        ? "Current directory is now:  " + DIRNAME()
     ENDIF
