In my computer, when I use "Put" (or ">>") to save some data to the
computer, Mathematica automatically outputs the data to a network hard
disk, where the "My Documents" folder is.  Although I know I can check
this path using "$InitialDirectory" command, I do not know how to
change it to a local folder.  Would anyone help me, PLZ?  Thanks!

Use SetDirectory to set the directory to anywhere you like.

SetDirectory["full path here"]

Even easier, you can set the directory to the directory where the
current notebook is saved to.

SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]

I often put that statement in an initialization cell at the top of my
notebook if I am going to a lot of importing or exporting.

Put saves data in the current working directory. The current
working directory can be set to any directory you have the
ability to read/write using SetDirectory. For example, on a Mac

SetDirectory["~/Desktop"]

will set the working directory to the current users desktop
directory. Or assuming the notebook you are using has been saved
to the hard drive

SetDirectory@NotebookDirectory[]

will set the working directory to the directory containing the
notebook this is executed in.

Use SetDirectory[ dir ], which sets the current working directory to
dir.

SetDirectory[] sets the current working directory to your home
directory.

SetDirectory[ NotebookDirectory[] ] sets the current working directory
to the same directory as the notebook you are working in (very
useful).  NotebookDirectory[] was introduced in version 6; if you are
using an earlier version, I can send you a function to put in your
init.m file to do the same thing.

Jian,

If you want the output where your notebook is, try

SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]

and then do your Put. If you want the output in some other directory,
first use SetDirectory["output directory"], and then use your Put.
