Nice refinement! I've put this into CVS and a new Windows

Great!
I wonder, does this now make redundant the current switch
(under /Tools/Preferences/File Open/Save):
Use gretl user directory as default /
Use current working directory as default
At least this item will have to reworded, since "current working
directory" will now suggest the directory selected under
/File/Working directory, not the shell-based CWD. But perhaps it
should be removed?
An alternative, for the benefit of unix-y users, would be to scrap
the "File Open/Save" tab (which now has only one item) but to add
a checkbox under "General" -- something like "Set working
directory from shell" (?)
For Windows (& Mac gui?) users your suggested cleanup would be quite
helpful I think. And I agree that for Unix people who have relied on
using some specific startup directory as their working directory there
should be a solution as well. Maybe "Use startup dir as working dir"?
Should that checkbox maybe be greyed out or completely missing on
Windows or could it make sense there as well?
