Sigh... well, good morning class, and welcome to the arcane concept of
a "command line" and its uses ;-)

"chdir" (usually abbreviated to "cd") is a command to be typed at the
DOS command line to CHange the current working DIRectory.  In a very
small nutshell, what the above two commands tell you is to type these
into your command line:

	c:
	mkdir \djgpp
	cd \djgpp

(you may replace c: by another drive letter, and \djgpp by whatever
place you decided to install \djgpp to).
