ARexx Current Dir
Thanks for the response Bill. Thanks for Aexx also while I'm at it! (despite
my confusion||fustrat{\ with this problem, I still think ARexx is a great
product!) I'd like to be able to know that the user is current'y logged onto
RAM: when they execute this script (actually, it's vital to the script's
correct operation). I still don't see how I can do that. I understood from the
documentation that I could say 'call pragma('d','RAM:')' to make RAM: the
current device:directory, but I can't just put that in the script becuase RAM:
may NOT be current. I could be logged into DF1:Source. How can I tell where I
am. From programming in other languages (such as C), I've come to expect that
if I opened a file called 'TEMP.FILE' (which has NO device||directory
specification, that this file would be opened in the current working directory.
It appears that this is not the case, (at least with RAM:) and I don't know any
other way to handle the situation, other than writing this thing in C, which
would of course defeat the whole purpose of having ARexx. So what am I to do???
And of course, WHERE IS 1.3?????????? [Grin]
Thanx again Bill, Ray
