Summary: Empty $file_path

Initial Comment:
When you start NEdit without a particular file, you get a document labelled 
"Unknown". It is created without a file path, which can be a big problem if you 
execute macros from it using $file_name.

This is easy to fix in function EditNewFile() in file.c, where window->path is 
assigned:

strcpy(window->path, defaultPath ? defaultPath : "");

Instead of "", call GetCurrentDir() (in util/utils.c).
On Unix/Linux/Posix/Cygwin you'll need to add a "/" to that, since that's how 
file paths are normally terminated in NEdit. (On VMS, I expect this is not 
necessary, but I don't have such a system to play with. I don't know about 
other file path conventions on other systems.)

Having made the change results in a correctly assigned $file_path value for 
these documents. This path is visible in the statistics line (if you use that), 
another useful feature.
