code that reads commands from the standard i/p and executes the commands

Hello all,
i've written a small piece of code that will read commands from standard input and executes the commands.
Its working fine and is execting the commands well. Accepting arguments too. e.g
#mkdir <name of the directory>

The problem is that its not letting me change the directory i.e pwd is remaining the same.
what changes should be made in it to let it change the directories too.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAXLINE 50

int main(void)
{
        char buf[MAXLINE];

        printf("%% ");
        while (fgets(buf, MAXLINE, stdin) != NULL)
        {
                buf[strlen(buf) -1] = 0;
                system(buf);
                printf("%% ");
        }
}

regards
