All GENESIS elements exist in a hierarchy.
The root
lives at the top of the tree (designated by /) and child
elements are created beneath the root. You use the ce
routine
to move about the tree (much as you can use the "cd" command
to move about the operating system file system).
If the element-path specified in a ce call starts with a /
then the path is assumed to be an absolute path from the root
of the element hierarchy. If the first character of the path
specified is not a / then the path is assumed to be relative
to the current working element.
