Two file handling questions

1)  I can never get the )cd command to work.  If I type )cd on its own, I am
told that

"The current AXIOM default directory is /home/amca/".

 If I then type )cd ProgramFiles/Axiom, I get told that

">> System error:
   #p"/home/amca/" is not of type SEQUENCE."

What's going on here?  (I can set my directory in my .axiom.input file, but
sometimes I'd like to change my directory from within Axiom).

2)  I am looking at using Axiom next semester for an introductory
cryptography subject (classical cryptosystems, number theory and RSA, El
Gamal etc, digital signature algorithms, hash functions, DES and AES).  This
will entail using Axiom under windows.  Ideally I'd like to be able to grab
files from two directories: a network directory writable only by me, but
readable by everybody, and the students' own directories.  Can this be done?

Thanks,
Alasdair
