I think it happens because you're using relative paths.
Change those commands to
*Menu Folder &(pprofolder++?"shortcuts\printers")
and you'll be able to start powerpro from another folder as you please.
As a matter of fact, I start powerpro from the command line, from lots
of different folders, without any problems, since I don't use relative
paths in *Menu Folder commands.
I do use relative paths in things like Icon= list properties. PowerPro
resolves them relative to pprofolder, I think, not to currentdir. But
*Menu folder, I think is resolved relative to currentdir.
I have a good reason for wanting to know powerpro's currentdir; it's
validpath (or file.validpath).
I discovered that validpath (relative_path) returns 1 when relative_path
is in powerpro's currentdir. The issue is that one doesn't know where
currentdir is! -- unless, of course, uses one of the methods listed in
this thread, such as making powerpro the active window, or running cmd
to find out, etc. I think that those solutions get the job done but are
"expensive" or "less than ideal". I wish I had a window("currentdir",
caption) available. I think a script shouldn't rely on the fact, of
fiction, who knows?, that powerpro isn't changing dir while it's
running.
