Under Windows 7, there seems to be a bug in J6.02 "fselect": it ignores its argument of a starting path and appears to initially point to the most-recently-opened directory according to the file selection dialog. So, if I run
fselect 'C:\foodir\foofile.txt' but, within the file selection dialog, navigate to "C:\bardir\barfile.foo' to select that file, the next time I run fselect 'C:\foodir\foofile.txt' the dialog opens in "C:\bardir".
