Re: [Gretl-devel] imposed paths for shell commands

Hi, I'm trying out something that involves launching external programs, and I have (re-) discovered the "launch" command (only actively remembered the "!" command for synchronous invocation). But I noticed a surprising difference which I think could be a bug: While gretl's current CWD setting is passed to the external program as its active directory when using "!", another path/directory is used when using "launch". That other directory is not gretl's dotdir, either. My suspicion is that it might be the last-opened directory (the one which is also remembered by the datafile-open window, if the user chooses it that way). I hope that explanation was clear enough. I don't see any reason why "!" and "launch" should behave differently in that respect.
