quick question:

if i Pexec a process, then within that process do a Dsetpath/Dsetdrv,
when i return from the Pexec, will the parent think it is back in the
same dir before the Pexec, or will the child's actions be
propagated back to the parent? in other words, is GEMDOS's concept
of current/default directory global in scope or is it per process?

if per process, where is this information stored?

reply via email, unless u feel this has more wide ranging interest...

thanx a priori.
