NAME
  Set_Situation - set a tool's current working directory

SYNOPSIS
  Set_Situation(in string path);

DESCRIPTION
  The Set_Situation request sets the current working directory.

  The path argument is the pathname of the working directory that the
  recipient should use.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The ttdt_session_join(3), function can be used to register for, and
  transparently process, the Set_Situation request.

EXAMPLES
  The Set_Situation request can be sent as in the following example:

       Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
			       the_recipient_procid, TTDT_SET_SITUATION,
			       my_callback);
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_OUT, Tttk_string, 0);
       tt_message_send(msg);

WARNINGS
  Set_Situation can also be sent as a multicast notice, as an edict to all
  tools in the scope of the message.  The consequences of doing so can be
  severe and unexpected.
