A couple of points:

* -- you can use SYS(16,0) so that you can get this out of your main program and still find out what you need to know

* -- you can use JUSTPATH() on the results.

(I'm pretty sure both these items came into the base product in VFP 7, in case backwards-compat is an issue for you.

Could be earlier. I don't have VFP 6 on this machine to check. In VFP 5, JUSTPATH() was only in FOXTOOLS.)
