FULLPATH(CURDIR()) is the start directory for the application if no SET DEFAULT or CD statement has been executed.

cAppDir = FULLPATH(SYS16,0))
cAppDir =LEFT(cAppDir,RAT('\',cAppDir)-1)

is the location of the top-level executable file.

Yes = wrap them in quotes, or store them in a variable and use name expansion:

CD "C:\This is a\Very silly dirname"

cMyDir = "\\MyServername\SomeShare\a silly\sub-dir"
CD (cMyDir)
