The current working directory is the directory returned by Directory[] and should be the equal to the value of $HomeDirectory at startup. The value of $Path is a list of directories that will be searched when say loading a package using Get or Needs. This is not a list of working directories. You can get a list of system variables for various directories by doing ?$*Directory. Clicking on the links will give you a brief description of each. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
