>Don't ask why, but my app has never had a SET DEFAULT. Do most applications have a SET DEFAULT? Now for the first time in 3 years it has caused a problem with creating a MKDIR that only specifies the directory name and not the complete path. All the clients have a shortcut on their desktop to the app and that is how they execute it, so the MKDIR creates the directory on their desktop. I want the directory in the app folder.

Brenda,
No not all apps have a set default.
To get default :
lcDefault = set('default')
or :
lcDefault = sys(5)+curdir() && Working dir

You're setting default back to where it was (probably nothing specified as startupdir in shcut). Try :

set default to (justpath(sys(16,1))
