hi

as far as I understand, there are two reasons this does not work

first, there are spaces in the path you give to cd, so you should use 
double strings as in the next example:

[a,b,c] = dos('cd ""C:\Documents and Settings\haasejos\Desktop\""' , '-echo');



anyway, scilab won't change the current directory using dos("cd"), but you can still use other commands as:

[a b c]=dos('dir ""C:\Documents and Settings\""' , '-echo');

to check that dos and the "" "" thing actually work

cheers
