Re: Path to *.m file

CurrentValue["NotebookFullFileName"] if you are executing the .m file
as an open file in the FrontEnd.

However, if you are using Get, for example, on the file from a
notebook, then you certainly will be using the path to the file as an
argument to Get.  Then you can first assign that path to a variable
and call it from within the .m file.  If yu are using Needs on that
file's context (or get, for that matter) you will first need to look
in the context paths given by Contexts[] to see where the file is
located (assuming that it is unique--if not then it will be the first
occurrence in the list of of contexts).  Then you can use that file
path in the previously mentioned variable....

Offhand I don't know a way using something like CurrentValue to get
the location of the file from within the file if it is not first
opened.

Hope that this helps...
