output

[Bruce Easton]

Yeah - I can't answer for Windows filepro, but the behavior under Linux 
might give some clues.  If I omit the path and just try to output the 
filename, it writes it to the current working directory.  If it doesn't 
have permission to write it there, it seems to have thrown the output 
away (based on my tests using the find command).
