To test an error appearing in a larger script, I made a very short script 
called 'a.js' which contains one line: console.log(_dirname); .  I expected 
to get the directory name but got an error instead (below).  I have node 
installed on a usb drive plugged in to a Win7 machine.


K:\nodejs>node_x64 --version
v0.8.8

K:\nodejs>node_x64 a.js

K:\nodejs\a.js:1
ion (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { 
console.log(_dirname);
                                                                    ^
ReferenceError: _dirname is not defined
