Yes, as described in the literature for "SET DEFAULT"... it does not
affect low level file functions. They look at the "DOS" directory,
and not Clipper's internal version of it.

This could probably be changed in WinDoze, if you or your customer
executes from a shortcut, by setting the "Working directory". Could
also use "dirchange()" in code.

=2E.. say whenever you call "SET DEFAULT", maybe wrap both into a single
function call.

Some people call it a "feature". ;>)

directory when a file is accessed, but it sure seems "cludgey"...
