make doesn't recognise DOS internal commands CD, MOVE etc.

[Steve Taylor]

Is there a fix for this?

I'm using GNU Make 3.81 on Windows 7.  

Lines like this...

        CD D:\Steve\data
        MOVE prog1.log ..

... cause an error like this...
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, CD D:\Steve\data, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

I have a workaround for MOVE by using CMD /C MOVE.  But this approach with CD 
does not change the current working directory.

Help please?

cheers,
     Steve
