The description of the chdir() function provided with the Microsoft
QuickC Compiler Version 2.00 is incorrect in the "Run-Time Library
Reference" manual on Page 156 and in the QuickC Advisor (on-line
help). In both cases the example call in the description section
should read as follows:

   chdir("c:\\temp");

The sample call in the description section of the on-line help reads
as follows:

   chdir("c:\temp")

It needs an additional backslash "\". To see this error, use the
Help.Index menu selection, then choose the chdir() function, and
change to the description section.

The sample call in the manual reads as follows:

   chdir(c:\temp);

This description needs another backslash (\) and quotes around the
directory.
