Vista Tutorial - run 2 dos commands using vbScript as a single command

Hi,
I am trying to change the directory and then run another command all
in 1 line. But for some strange reason I can't even get the first
command to work. I need help!!

Here's the code
===========
dim objShell
dim inFile, outFile, projFile,folderC ,cmd1,cmd2

'setting variuos paths
folderC ="C:\temp\Projects\21038Ax1aDx"
inFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\smitha\My Documents\BOM
\partlist.ini"
outFile = "out.lst"
projFile = "10297200"

'2 commands
cmd1= "cd folderC"
cmd2="partlist projFile -input inFile -outFile outFile"

set objshell = createobject("Wscript.shell")
objshell.Run "%compsec% /k cmd1 & cmd2"

objshell.Run "%compsec% /k cmd1 & cmd2" with this line:
wscript.echo "%compsec% /k cmd1 & cmd2"

and you will immediately see that the command cannot possibly run, because
"cd folderC" gets lumped together with "partlist".

You probably have a second problem too. Where is the command processor
supposed to find "partlist"? In the current folder? What is the current
folder? In scripts you MUST state the drive, folder, file name and
extension!

to be in the directory just for the -input attribute to work correctly
as it is a custom program.

I tested this exact command in the cmd window with "&" and it works
fine. I am perplexed as to how to solve this problem.
