CURDIR() only returns the path without the drive. So the say I always do it is

lcDefault = FULLPATH(CURDIR())

This will give the full path. You can save it to a property or whatever you want to save it to and then set back to it with

CD (lcDefault)

Or whatever you saved it to when your done.

>=SET("DEFAULT") only returns the drive, not the full current path, so you need CURDIR() as Phillip pointed out.
