Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

CURDIR$ returns the path currently in use for the specified drive.
 
CURDIR$[(drive$)]
    ■ The argument drive$ must be in the range A to lastdrive, where
      lastdrive is the maximum drive letter you 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. This is similar to using
      the CHDIR command at the system prompt without specifying a path.
 
Usage Notes
    ■ BASIC generates an error if the first character in the argument
      drive$ lies outside the range A to lastdrive, unless you are
      working in a networked environment.
    ■ BASIC also generates an error if the first character in the argument
      drive$ corresponds to a drive that does not exist, or if the first
      letter in the argument drive$ is not a letter.
    ■ CURDIR$ is not case sensitive. "C" is the same as "c."
