I created the following test program which may not be the most efficient way to write this program.  However for test purposes with the debugger, it allows me to see what is happening.

When I use getcwd() to show the directory I am in, it only show "t:/" line 18 & 30.

At line 32 when I check for the existence of the file "enter.prc" I get a false reading.

No the array displayed twice shows all of the *.prc files in the directory t:\legscene\filepro\inquire

Why isn't getcwd displaying the proper path?

Why am I getting a false when all 23 *.prc files are found but exists(file_name) is false?
