1. Please remove the statement that "set defaultdirectory" applies only to the applet. It does work for the application, 12.0.12. However, it affects only the source of files read, not the destination to which files are written! IS THIS A BUG?
2. "cd" changes both the source of files read and the destination of files written. Thus is is currently NOT equivalent to "set defaultdirectory". Unless this is a bug, the documentation should be corrected. 3. Under "set currentlocalpath" and also under "set defaultdirectory" please refer to "cd ..." in order to set the default directory for writing files. "cd ..." works, so it is NOT equivalent to "set currentlocalpath" which changes the source of files read, but does not affect the location to which e.g. "write xxx.pdb" goes. 4. If it was intended that there be separate commands for reading and writing directories, how about adding "set defaultReadDirectory" and "set DefaultWriteDirectory"? These would be much less confusing. My tests concerned local files only.
