i made a file in c drive called my_progams i went back tested some of the scripts worked great then today i go and type cd /my_programs just like it told me yesterday to do and now it doesnt work it gives me a long error ... traceback <most recent call list:
file "<stdin>"; line 1, in <module>
NameError: name cd' is not defined

'cd' is a shell command not a python command, so it should be typed at the shell prompt not at the python interactive interpreter prompt.

Also the slash '/' is to be used with Linux. If you are using Windows use the backslash '\'.
