Hi David, everything you wrote is correct, but it isn't what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for the *current dir* of a program (=powerpro), not for the
installation folder (pprofolder).
Take cmd.exe for instance. It's installed in c:\windows\system32, I believe.
That's its installation folder.
Start it. Type "cd", it tells you its current dir. Not type "cd %TEMPT%",
ENTER, "cd". It tells you its current
dir again, which isn't the one it told you before. That's the info I'm looking
for. In the case of Powerpro, I
don't think (know), if we will ever experience the "cd %TEMP%" equivalent of
the example above, since
I don't think (know) that powerpro changes directory while it's running. But
definitely it can be started
from different folders, which means that the first "cd" of the example above
can return different values
--and they are unrelated to where powerpro is installed.
