#ParentDir from CLI

The currentdir stuff is in the process structure – You do a
FindTask(0) to get the process address base; then do er make that get the
"pr_CLIStruct" pointer from the process base. Shift twice; stir well. Then
the current directory is in cli_SetName indexed from the BCPL pointer
pr_CLIStruct. It is a BSTR, which means shift twice before using; then the
length of the string is in the first byte, with the data following.

Thanks Cheath, though I had a little differnt point of view in mine when I
saked the question. I am attempting to start from Execbase and trace my way
through the various structures and pointers rather than to use system calls
to "find" things. The knowledge of the way the entire AMiga is laid out
will be invaluable, and it may even lead to some interesting code.
