It won't help in the current case but for potential OSGeo4W users I need 
to correct myself:
the shell in (my installation of) OSGeo4W is ms-dos, not 'bash' (or any 
other flavor of 'sh').
So it does understand 'cd' (contratry to what I wrote above) although 
the native command would be more like 'chdir'.

Hoverer, to switch to another "drive" in ms-dos I first type the drive 
(by itself), e.g.
C:> D: <enter>
and then I can proceed with 'cd':
D:> cd grassdata <enter>
