You can see what directory you are in by typing
dir
A list of the directory contents will be provided; at the top of the list is your current location.

where [UserID] is replaced by your login userid (and no square brackets) and [Project] is replaced by the name you have assigned to the project: the default project is demo (again, no square brackets). So to navigate to the directory, on a single line, type

where [translator] is the name of the stand-alone utility being used, [fileextension] is the three-letter extension after the dot, and [flags] are the stand-alone utility’s options.
