COMMENTS
        DOS directories are said to be tree structured. The
        "tree" may be traversed with the "CHDIR" ("CD")
        command.  The current position in the tree is said
        to be the "home" directory.  The route needed to
        traverse the tree to a particular point is said to
        be a path and consists of directory names separated
        by the reverse slash (\).

        INDEX expects the files WORDS.INX and EXTENSIO.INX
        to be in the current (home) directory.  INDEX also
        generates its files (MAP.INX, ENTRY.INX, and
        KEY.INX) in the home directory which is where
        LOCATE expects to find them.

        INDEX "descends" into sub-directories when
        encountered.  The path name returned by LOCATE
        contains all such sub-directory names but does not
        contain "higher" directory names.
