Problem with chdir()

Hello all,

in directory d:\, I have the following file chdir.ex:

----------------------
file d:\\chdir.ex
----------------------
include file.e
include get.e
integer i

i = chdir("c:\\temp")
if i then
   printf(1, "result of chdir() is %d\n", i)
   puts(1, "current directory is " & current_dir())
else
   puts(1, "error")
end if
i = wait_key()
----------------------


When I open the directory d:\ in the explorer (under Windows 98),
and doubleklick on chdir.ex (Euphoria 2.3 installed), I get
the following message:
    result of chdir is 1
    current directory is D:\

But what about the command chdir("c:\\temp")?
    

When I rename the file to chdir.exw and run it, I get the message
    result of chdir is 1
    current directory is c:\temp

as expected.


Can anyone please tell me, what is wrong with ex.exe and chdir()?

Thanks in advance,
   Juergen
