SYMPTOMS
Issuing the CD.. command in the Visual FoxPro Command window to change to the parent directory, generates this error message:

Unrecognized command verb.



CAUSE
The Visual FoxPro parsing algorithm looks at CD.. as one token, so it generates the error.



RESOLUTION
Use the following correct syntax when using the CD command to change to the parent directory:   CD .. NOTE: There must be a space between CD and the two periods. This information is documented in the "CD|CHDIR Command" topic of the Help menu.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
