From the mcd manpage, which you can read by running "man mcd" with the
mtools locker added:

     The environmental variable MCWD may be used  to  locate  the
     file where the device and current working directory informa-
     tion is stored.  The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'.   Information
     in  this  file  is  ignored if the file is more than 6 hours
     old.
...
     Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to  change  to
     another  device.  It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files
     at logout.
