let me clear this up, it is only necessary to be able to load files from the executable's directory, not to know the actual path, right? If one could get a lock to that directory you can Dos.library::CurrentDir to it and you're done, you can just use relative paths.

Instead of taking Process->pr_CLI->cli_CommandName and looking for '/' in the string, of course we could just get the lock to the file and then ParentDir from that.
