nd (naming_directory) -- Set or display naming directory.
usage:  nd [pathname]



DESCRIPTION
     nd 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 log-in home
     directory at login.


ARGUMENTS
     pathname (optional)
                    Specify directory name to be used as the naming directory.
                    nd also accepts the command-line parser arguments "-" and
                    "*".

                    Default if omitted:
                                   display the name of the current naming
                                   directory

EXAMPLES
     Set naming directory to /paul/links.

     $ nd /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.
