NMD

Change directories within NeXtMidas

<AREA>  The area in an option tree (e.g. "prim")
<OPT>   The option tree name (e.g. "UCL")

Keyword Only Parameters:
  [AUX]  Name of AUX directory to change into. This can NOT be combined with
         <AREA> or <OPT>. (Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1)

Changes the OS working directory to that of a given area of an option tree. The
nmd command is a OS-independent command (similar to xmd in X-Midas) used to
navigate option trees.

Note that using "home" as the <AREA> will change into the user's home directory.

Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1 it is possible to use nmd to change into one of the local
AUX directories by using AUX=.

The goal of nmd is to eliminate the need to remember the exact location of a
particular directory. This is especially helpful when managing multiple setups
on different computers that have different disk configurations.

  **************************************************************************
  * This is an operating system command (aliased when nmstart is run), it  *
  * can be used outside of the NeXtMidas shell.                            *
  *                                                                        *
  * If run from inside the NeXtMidas shell, the shell MUST temporarially   *
  * exit in order to run this command. Any commands running with /BG will  *
  * be terminated when the Java VM exits to run this command.              *

Examples:
  1. Change into the "mcr" directory of the "ucl" option tree:
       $ nmd mcr ucl
       
  2. Change into the "exp" directory of the current option tree (the "current"
     option tree is the last one you used nmd to change into):
       $ nmd prim

  3. Change into the user's home directory:
       $ nmd home
       
  4. Change into the AUX directory used for DAT (Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1):
       $ nmd AUX=DAT
