Ah, that's another geography. Should take the initial path from any file which surely resides at the target directory, remember it and explicitly Set Default to it. The rest should be the same. AFAI remember his problem (can't see previous messages in UT Nav), he wanted to avoid hardcoding the path. If he can make sure his app is launched in proper folder, he could just

Set Default to (curdir())

I think that, lacking the Set Default, relative paths get lost on the way, or am I wrong? If I am, what caused his problem then?
