I still don't really know how projects work, but I hope that this is a good
general crossplatform solution
this line can go at the top of any script in order to set MYDIR_base_ to the
same folder as the file it is defined in. If the line appears inside a locale
then MYDIR_locale_ would be set.
1!:44 MYDIR =: getpath_j_ '\/' rplc~ > (4!:4<'thisfile'){(4!:3) thisfile=:''
1!:44 will set the current working directory. Doing so lets you
open/load/require files (in this folder) without path qualification. Not using
1!:44, would let you open with MYDIR , filename or paths relative to MYDIR.
the '/\' rplc~ part is for windows, which deals with \ deliminated paths ok,
but 4!:3 still returns / separated.
Hopefully this works on all OS's

Subject: [Jprogramming] Ability to query the current project directory
I'm trying to write a user-defined shortcut in j803 that works similarly to
F9 (run) and Ctrl+F9 (build), in that it runs the appropriately-named
script within the current project folder.
Is there any way one can query the IDE to return the open project's root
directory to create user-defined operations like this? I've been told that
this was easier in the older IDEs written in J, but given that j803's
interface is written in C the task will be considerably harder.
Any thoughts?
