You're quite welcome.

I was just passing on something I'd learned in the transition from DOS environment to Windows -- that "current directory" isn't always guaranteed to be what you think it to be. Actually the "current directory" *could* also change unexpectedly in DOS -- if you used some form of task-switcher. But since such things were generally rare, you typically didn't have to worry about "current directory" changing unexpectedly in a (non-task-switched) DOS environment.
