working directory

We are trying to execute a function using the shell command ">shell", but we
need to be able to change the working directory that the executable will run
from - this will be imbedded in a turnkey, not operated from the SwiftForth
command line, so using "CD", I believe, does not apply.

Can anyone tell me how to change the working directory from within a
turnkey?

For example, within the turnkey we want to execute a shell command and have
it place the file, junk.txt, in a certain directory. The command below puts
the file in the directory from which the original word was called, not where
we want it. How do we specify that?

s" c:\windows\psftp user_at_mysite.com -pw pass -b c:\windows\input.scr" >shell
;

where c:\windows\input.scr is simply:

get junk.txt

quit

All works fine except the file ends up where my turnkey lives, not where I
want it! I would like to put it in c:\windows, for example.

I hope I am being clear here.
