I think that if `d` is a relative path then it should be treated as relative to the current directory at the time that `in-directory6` is called: * When I use "/home/mflatt/tmp" for `d`, I get a listing of files under "/home/mflatt/tmp". * When I use "tmp" and my initial directory is "/home/mflatt", I still get a listing of files under "/home/mflatt/tmp". Both of those are as they should be, I think. When I use `in-directory` instead of `in-directory6`, then it behaves in a way that I think is less useful and should count as a bug in `in-directory`. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
