If you forget to change to your desired destination directory before
starting amrecover, you can use the lcd command to change to another
destination directory within amrecover before you give the extract
command.  Sometimes useful if you have spent some time picking and
choosing files before remembering you're not where you want them
restored to and don't want to start over.
