Hi Jerry

I'm assuming the warning is there to let you know the path you
specified was a relative path - no leading '/' Potentially the actual
path saved could be different depending on who runs the program, and
what their current, or home, directory is. If a user has their profile
home directory set as '/home/FRED' then this ends up as their
current/working directory (until changed by a CD/CHDIR). Any relative
links (such as 'USR/PROJECTS/*') would get prefixed by the working
directory (DSPCURDIR tells you) and you'd end up with
'/home/FRED/USR/PROJECTS/*'

Generally it's safest to specify absolute links so you know what will get saved.
