The command CHDIR takes one argument, a directory to change to. This command is implemented to simplify the working with includefile (see includefile in yodlmacros(7)). As a demonstration by example, consider the following fragment:
includefile(subdir/onefile)
includefile(subdir/anotherfile)
includefile(subdir/yetanotherfile)

This fragment can be changed to:

CHDIR(subdir)
includefile(onefile)
includefile(anotherfile)
includefile(yetanotherfile)
CHDIR(..)

The current directory, as given to CHDIR, only affects how includefile will search for its files.
