C:\WINDOWS>HELP PUSHD
Stores the current directory for use by the POPD command, then
changes to the specified directory.

If a network path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary

then change the current drive and directory, using the newly
defined drive letter. Temporary drive letters are allocated from
Z: on down, using the first unused drive letter found.
