+  * ''**chdir** [//directory//]''
+===== Description =====
+Change the current directory of ''screen'' to the specified directory or,
+if called without an argument, to your home directory (the value of the
+environment variable $HOME).  All windows that are created by means of the
+''[[screen]]'' command from within ".screenrc" or by means of
+''[[colon|C-a :]] [[screen]] ...'' or ''[[screen|C-a c]]'' use this as
+their default directory.  Without a ''chdir'' command, this would be the
+directory from which ''screen'' was invoked.  ''[[hardcopy]]'' and
+''[[log]]'' files are always written to the window's default directory,
+not the current directory of the process running in the window.  You can
+use this command multiple times in your .screenrc to start various windows
+in different default directories, but the last ''chdir'' value will affect
+all the windows you create interactively.
+===== Examples =====
+None yet.
