It's the full path to the launch script.

The reason the script includes the `cd` line is that NetLogo requires
that when it is launched, the JVM's current working directory must be
the NetLogo directory itself -- the directory containing `lib` and
`models` and `extensions` and `NetLogo.jar` and everything else.

This requirement is arguably unfortunate, but that's the way it is.

I'm at a loss to explain why your change wouldn't make NetLogo fail to
launch entirely.  Are you sure you're working with an unmodified NetLogo
install where you haven't renamed anything or moved anything around?

We don't have any other reports of netlogo.sh failing to work, and the
directory handling in it hasn't changed in donkey's years, so afaics you
must be doing something unusual.
