Graeme: you also missed this. None of those functions take a base
path and applies a relative path to produce a new absolute path. The
function must be able to go up some directories and then down some
others.
ExpandFileName does exactly that.
No it doesn't, unless you're assuming your current directory as the base
path. ExtractRelativePath specifically takes a base path as a parameter.
Its inverse should do the same. In a GUI app (at least mine) I don't
care about my current directory.
