FileOps.$changeworkingdir(cPath)
Changes the current working directory to the directory named in cPath. Pathnames can be over 255 characters, which was the limit in Studio 8.0.1 or earlier.
$changeworkingdir() only switches between directories on the same drive, not between drives. The function returns an error code, or zero if successful: see the FileOps function error codes.
Note: Applications on macOS do not have a working directory. If you use this function on macOS, it returns the error code kFileOpsNoOperation.
