It depends in which language the program is being written.
BASIC supports `change directory' from which you can then
open files in that directory. I have written a routine for
the IBM PASCAL compiler which allows me to open files in any
directory. It first does a `change directory' and then I can
use the PASCAL `assign' statement to open the file. You can
do the same thing from any other language by writting the
interface routine.
