changing directory


This may be more scheme than guile;
When i do a systemcall (system "wget www.xy.zz") the file wget will
download will be saved in the current shell directory
 i.e. (system "pwd"). How can i change my current directory? I tried
(system "cd /home/buechel/download") but this has not changed. What
does it do then?

guile> (system "pwd")
/home/buechel/CVS/guile-core

guile> (system "cd /home/buechel")

guile> (system "pwd")
/home/buechel/CVS/guile-core
