Ok, I'll check this out. I set the_current_dir as soon as IDE opens
without thinking that the associated prj file would change IDE to its
directory.

I generate the EXW in IDE_proj.ew. Just do a search on "create". There
are several places you need to make your change.

There is an existing request that the output EXW be split into seperate
.ew files per window and to allow the user to specify local or global.
While I am not ready to create seperate .ew files, I am in the next
release, allowing the user to specify local or global per control in
Properties. The default will be global so as not to break existing prj
files.

There might always be a need to edit the exw file for some situations.

Upon more thought, I decided to change the local/global constant create
routine i the next IDE release to work this way: There will be an
IDE.cfg entry that indicates that controls when added to a project
default to global or local. Global is the default unless user changes to
local. The routines I added in Properties will override the local/global
on a control by control basis. This allows those folks wanting mostly
local controls to do less keying in Properties.
If anyone has more input on this issue, now is the time to speak up.
