ND (NAMING_DIRECTORY) -- Set or display naming directory.
usage:  ND [pathname]


FORMAT

  ND [pathname]


  The  ND command sets or displays the name of the naming directory.  The naming
  directory is provided so that you may use a tilde (~) as a  shorthand  feature
  in  pathname specifications.  It is also important since the system checks its
  COM subdirectory (~COM) as a part of the  default  command  search  operation.
  The naming directory is set to the login home directory at login.


ARGUMENTS

  If  no  pathname  is  specified,  the  name of the current naming directory is
  displayed.

  pathname
  (optional)         Specify directory name to be used as the naming directory.


EXAMPLES

    $ nd /paul/links       Set naming directory to "/paul/links".

  After execution of this  command,  you  can  use  a  tilde  (~)  in  place  of
  '/paul/links'  at the beginning of any pathname.  Thus "~sausage" would be the
  same as "/paul/links/sausage".
