Grigore,
THANK YOU for correcting me! I've looked up how I handle this in my applications. Here's the code:

*	If the startup folder isn't equal to the EXE folder, we'll add the EXE folder 
*	to the searchpath. This implies that the startup folder will remain the default folder!
if atc( justpath( sys( 16, 0 ) ) + ';', set( 'path' ) + ';' ) = 0
	*
	if empty( set( 'path' ) )
		set path to justpath( sys( 16, 0 ) )
	else
		set path to set( 'path' ) + ';' + justpath( sys( 16, 0 ) )
	endif
endif
