process-current-directory: system variable

Default value: varies

When you use a concurrent process, Epsilon stores its current directory in this variable. Setting this variable switches the concurrent process to a different current directory.

To set the variable from EEL, use the syntax process_current_directory = new value;. Don't use strcpy(), for example, to modify it.

The Windows 95/98/ME (and 3.1) versions of Epsilon only transmit current directory information to or from the process when the process prompts for input. The DOS version transmits current directory information immediately. Under OS/2, Epsilon can't detect or set the concurrent process's current directory, so setting this variable has no effect. Under Unix, Epsilon tries to retrieve the process's current directory whenever you access this variable, but setting it has no effect. Under NT/W2K/XP, EEL code scans prompts to detect the process's current directory and sets this variable. See the variable use-process-current-directory for more details.
