If the JMeter bin directory is on the path, the jmeter-n and jmeter-t files currently work from anywhere - but that's because they change the working directory to the directory in which they are found, i.e. bin.
Perhaps "someone else" made a similar change to jmeter.bat? Any work-round would need to do what JMeter currently does internally, which is to look for all the jar files in lib and lib/ext and add them to the classpath. You would also need to set JMeter home and/or user.dir so it could find the various property files it needs, and then start the main class directly - (using -jar overrides the classpath). Certainly possible, but rather messy, and if user.dir has to be set in order to find some of the properties files, it may not achieve anything. S.
