Retain current directory

How can I set the current directory after I have initially selected it. I am performing some tasks on tiff images using a GUI. I initially set the directory by using an exdit box and use:

startpname=get(handles.editFolder,'String');

After this first selection, I then want to start in this directory for all other times.

Thanks Jason

I recommend you to check the cd function documentation. On a quick thought, I suppose it must be something like:

startpname = get(handles.editFolder, 'String');
cd(startpname);
