When the program first loads, call built in function [current_dir()]
from [file.e]. This returns a sequence string such as "C:\EUPHORIA\DOC"
if the program was run from there. Save this in a global sequence
(SavedDir) and when you need to reset this call [chdir(SavedDir)] also
from [file.e].

Sorry about that, I dont know why it isnt working correctly. I pasted
this into a dummy program and ran it from four different directories in
three different drives with no issues...

include file.e
printf( 1, "'%s'\n", {current_dir()} )
atom break
