When I start maxima on windows (from within emacs) it doesn't like
paths of the form \\servername\path\to\file so it starts with
C:\windows as the working directory (as follows):
'\\servername\my\path\here'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.
Once it's started, how can I change this manually? I can't find a
chdir or cd command in the manual.
I believe that Lisp doesn't have a portable notion of a current
directory, instead there is the concept of a pathname, so I'm not even
sure what to do to change the working directory from lisp.
In any case, the main issue is that I want to have the draw2d output
go to a more reasonable current directory rather than c:\windows.
