 The current directory is recorded automatically in the directory history 
 list just before each change to a new directory or drive. 
 You can view the directory history from a directory history window and 
 change to any drive and directory on the list.  To activate the directory 
 history window, press Ctrl-PgUp or Ctrl-PgDn at the command line.  You 
 can then select a new directory with the Enter key. 
 If the directory history list becomes full, old entries are deleted to 
 make room for new ones.  You can set the size of the list with the 
 DirHistory directive in the .INI file.  In order to conserve space, each 
 directory name is recorded just once in the directory history, even if 
 you move into and out of that directory several times.  The directory 
 history can be stored in either a "local" or "global" list. (See Local 
 and Global Directory History.) 
 When you switch directories the original directory is saved in the 
 directory history list, regardless of whether you change directories at 
 the command line, from within a batch file, or from within an alias. 
  However, directory changes made by external directory navigation 
 utilities or other external programs are not recorded by CMD.EXE. 
 See Popup Windows for information on customizing window position, size, 
 and color.
