Changing Directory in Dos-Prompt

Hi there.
I am writing a Visual C++ Console App ( Win 32). I want the program to change the directory from which it is called. I assume that I need to call the DOS CHDIR command. But when I use WinExec or _execl, the prompt opens a new process, and doesn't change anything in the current process. If you can help, e-mail me Lirosan.
