Command: popd

  POPD pops a directory off the directory stack (created by
  pushd) and changes to it.

Syntax:

  POPD [*] [/?]

Options:

  *   Clears the directory stack.
  /?  Shows the help.

Comments:

  PUSHD is a lot like CD, except that it stores the current directory
  before changing it. Later on, POPD can be used to restore it. 
  PUSHD can be used several times, storing a stack of directories.
  Using PUSHD without specifying a directory will store the current 
  directory, but not change it.
  POPD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

this command            changes the current directory to / shows:
============            =========================================
cd c:\fdos\bin          c:\fdos\bin
pushd c:\games          c:\games      (and stores c:\fdos\bin)
pushd c:\utils          c:\utils      (and stores c:\games)
pushd c:\packages       c:\packages   (and stores c:\utils
dirs                    shows the directories stored by pushd:
                          0001=c:\fdos\bin
                          0002=c:\games
                          0003=c:\utils
popd                    c:\utils      (and removes c:\utils (0003)
                                      from directory stack)
popd                    c:\games      (and removes c:\games (0002)
