Thanks Mark,
Unfortunately, that directive only returns the file name itself, without
the path. The documentation does not show any %xxx% symbol that returns
the full file path, which is what I need. I will have to set an
environment variable to do what I want, but that will leave me with just
one more thing to forget when I port the package :-(.
