     I've tried several different floppies, and all of them do the same 
     thing.  I do not have source to check against.
     
     If you 'cd //a' and then 'cd {some subdir}' you cannot 'cd ..' to get 
     back to the parent.  It just stays in the current directory.  Also, 
     you cannot 'cd //a' to get to the parent, either.  You have to change 
     drives first, and then go back to //a.
     
     It appears that the current directory state gets mangled with the 
     default directory state on the A: drive.
