What "help info" are you talking about?  If you say "help cd" you're
probably getting the Windows help for the command, not the ksh version.

ksh uses the same mechanism as any other Cygwin tool.  You type cd /usr
to change to /usr and cd /cygdrive/c/foo to change to the foo directory
on the c drive.

Yes.  Use the proper syntax.
