Chdir & 5.6

Not sure if this is the correct action for chdir or a bug

I did the following

If: 'drive letter"
Then: xx=getenv("pfdata");sl=chr("92")
If:
Then xy=xx{sl{"foobar"
If:
Then: chdir xy
If:
Then: system batch.bat

Starting on drive W:\gcc

When batch.bat ran and I had it do a directory listing, it was in the root
directory of xx not in xx\foobar.

Now if is hard coded this

If:
Then: chdir "t:\foobar"

And ran batch.bat, I was in the proper directory.

Apparently chdir doesn't accept variables.

Is the correct?

I have worked out a solution to this problem for testing on my system and
for actual use on a client's system.
