This gives the directory where new notebooks are saved and that you will
see first, in 
the File-Browser, if you want to open a new notebook.

If you have several notebooks open, where each lies in a different
directory, your solution
gives the directory of the last opened or saved notebook and not the
notebook which 
is currently used for evaluation.
