hi Brian,

You can put the CD command and the 7z command both in your &CMD variable. Just separate the commands with a semicolon. So your &CMD variable would contain

Small tweak... Use && instead of semicolon.

If you do:

cd /whatever ; somecmd

Then somecmd will be run EVEN IF the cd failed. So you might end up doing something in the wrong directory. Even best case scenario, it'll be hard to troubleshoot what failed, since somecmd will still run, it'll just fail because it's in the wrong directory.

So it's better to do this:

cd /whatever && somecmd

In this case, the somecmd command is only executed if the CD command was successful. Therefore, if the directory change doesn't work, the error message will be the one from the cd command, and the somecmd command won't be executed.
