I have question about what is considered the "current
directory"?
Under Windoze95, with rebol.exe in my path. I can be in any
directory any place on my machine or Novell network type
"rebol" to start up Rebol.
I can do 'print what-dir' and get exactly what I expect, say
N:\C\410 for example, if I was in N:\C\410 when I started Rebol.
But if I run "rebol N:\UTL\trim.r" when I do 'print
what-dir' no matter where I am, I get N:\UTL\ as the
"current directory".
The user guide documents the latter behavior in
http://www.rebol.com/users/fildir.html by saying 'current
dir comes from system/script/path'.
Thats all well and good, that I know now the script path,
but how do I find out what the current directory is? Rebol
knew it before I started a script. Is this knowlage lost,
if not where is it?
I don't see the logic of this "current directory" behavior?
Any thing wrong with having a real "current directory" and
a "script path" both?
To actually get on with my job this is what I did in my
batch file:
copy N:\UTL\trim.r /y
start /w rebol -sqw trim.r...
del trim.r
A dumb solution, but one that works to get the current dir,
and lets me move on to more important issues of the project.
