Hi,

When I use the 'Directory[]' function in Mathematica 4.0 for Linux I get the name of the directory from which I launch a
notebook.
However, when I use it in Mathematica 4.0 for Windows I get the directory from which the executable mathematica program
is lauched, regardless of the mane of the directory which holds the notebook.
I'm trying to make a program which works the same in both environments. My question is, How can I get the windows
version to retrieve the directory name from which a notebook is launched ?
