Unfortunately, you need to type (assuming you are running Octave under CygWin)
cd /cygdrive/c/emme2
Indeed this is contrary to Windows OS convention, but remember Cygwin is a
Linux emulator running under Windows, so the file system conventions in Octave
follow Linux and Unix conventions, not Windows. Although, I do vaguely
remember someone talking about a macro that will perform the translation for
you -- anyone?
On the topic you raise, though, watch out for backslashes native to Windows.
For example (for reasons I do not know), if you were to type
cd \
you could end up having a hard time breaking out.. I would hazard a guess that
the "\" is interpreted as a line continuation of sorts, but the only way I
could figure out to break out was to close the Octave session.
So, any tips on how to make the file system interface more "native friendly"
would be appreciated. Perhaps we could include the necessary macros or
mappings as part of the Windows installation.

I realize that this is a hopelessly simple problem but I have been
struggling with it for a couple of days.
How come this works:
>> dir c:/emme2
EMME2.log Springs bin enif etc macros tutorial wpgdata
Medford autoexec.ex doc enif_e2course lib ppacg winnipeg
But this does not:
>> cd c:/emme2
error: c:/emme2: No such file or directory
Win2000
Octave 2.1.36
Thanks for any assistance
