Command: popd

  POPD pops a directory off the directory stack (created by
  pushd) and changes to it.

Syntax:

  1. POPD
  2. POPD [*] [/?]

Options:

  *   Clears the directory stack.
  /?  Shows the help.

Comments:

  The first variant changes the current directory back to the one, in
  which the last PUSHD command was executed.
  The second one clears all entries of the directory stack, but does
  not change the current directory.
  POPD is stored in the context segment (directory stack) of of
  command.com, for more information see: COMMAND /E:nnn and MEMORY.
  POPD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

  this command            changes the current directory to / shows:

  dirs                    shows the directories stored by pushd:
