 CURDIR$[(drive$)]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ The argument drive$ must be in the range A to lastdrive, where lastdrive
     is the maximum drive letter you may have set in your CONFIG.SYS file.
 
   ■ If no drive is specified or if drive$ is a null string, CURDIR$ returns
     the path for the currently selected drive. Note: This is similar to
     using the CHDIR command at the system prompt without specifying a path.
     See: ◄CHDIR Statement►
 
   ■ Visual Basic generates an error if:
     • The first character drive$ lies outside the range A to lastdrive,
       unless you are working in a networked environment
     • The first character in drive$ corresponds to a drive that does not
       exist
     • The first letter in drive$ is not a letter
 
   ■ CURDIR$ is not case sensitive ("C" is the same as "c").
 
   ■ Since only the first letter of the drive$ argument is used, the colon
     (:) is always optional.
