DOS directories are said to be tree structured. The
"tree" may be traversed with the "CHDIR" ("CD")
command. The current position in the tree is said
to be the "home" directory. The route needed to
traverse the tree to a particular point is said to
be a path and consists of directory names separated
by the reverse slash (\).
INDEX expects the files WORDS.INX and EXTENSIO.INX
to be in the current (home) directory. INDEX also
generates its files (MAP.INX, ENTRY.INX, and
KEY.INX) in the home directory which is where
LOCATE expects to find them.
INDEX "descends" into sub-directories when
encountered. The path name returned by LOCATE
contains all such sub-directory names but does not
contain "higher" directory names.
