GETTING FULL PATHS

is there a simple way to convert a string to a full path in Euphoria?
for example, the user could type in:

   "..\foo\bar"

i know that you can use dir() to determine (1) that the path is real,
and (2) that the path is either a directory or a file. but i need to
convert the string to a full path, such as:

   "c:\stuff\bletch\foo\bar\"

i could parse the thing by hand, but it would be easier if there was
a function that would expand it automatically. any suggestions?

thanks.
