This changes the directory the DOS device is connected to.

By default, DOS1\_ corresponds to C:\\, DOS2\_ to D:\\ and so on, but the base can be freely chosen in the configuration dialogue or even at runtime::

    DOS_DRIVE 2, "C:\WINDOWS"

will assign DOS2\_ to the windows directory on the host's C:\\ drive.

::

    PRINT DOS_DRIVE$(2)

would now return "C:\\WINDOWS".
