  But wasn't "chdir" built into the
PDP-7 Unix shell? 
 No.  See "The Evolution of the Unix Time-sharing System", in section
"Process
 control".

 Also, the old 'cd' had different syntax than today's (since there was no
notion
 of a pathname in the earliest Unix); it took instead a list of directories (e.g.
 "cd dd ken").

 Wanna have some fun?

chdir system

then try to find your way back 'home'...

v0's subdirectories suck.
