my documents give invalid directory
because that command makes no sense

it does... only there is a possebility that your command prompt will show everything in 8.3 format and not in long file names.
Everything works the same in 8.3 format, only names are shorter (max 8 characters long and max 3 characters for the extension)...
So start at your root, which is C: :
c: thanks to shawnz for notifying about the mistake
cd \
next, list the directories in the root:
dir *. /p
now you'll see a bunch of directories, go to the "Documents and Settings" directory (or whatever equivalent it is in 98, don't remember). If it is 8.3 format, it would be something like this:
cd docume~1
again show the list of directories:
dir *. /p
Now go to your user name:
cd myname
Do again a list of directories:
dir *. /p
You now should see the "my documents" folder, so go to it:
cd mydocu~1
of course your path to "my documents" can be different (I used "c:\documents and settings\myname\my documents" for the example, but the way to get there just the same stuff...)
