Stata seems to follow the same directory structure as most OS's in so
much as '.' refers to the current directory, and '..' refers to the next
level up.
Thus if you start in the root directory (c:\) and change to p_1
typing the full path-name
. cd c:\stata\projects\p_1
. pwd
c:\stata\projects\p_1\
Then to move up to c:\stata\projects you can type
. cd ..
. pwd
c:\stata\projects\
If you wanted to move up two levels to the c:\stata then
. cd ..\..
.pwd
c:\stata\
Hope this helps,
Neil
