Wox,
Thanks!
I was just hoping there was a built-in method of retreiving the
workspace info.
What I have decided to do is parse the org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file
located in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\.idl\itt\idlworkbench-
config-idl70\.settings folder for RECENT_WORKSPACES which provides a
list of recently used workspaces and I pick the first (most recent --
i.e., currently in use) workspace.
Here's what my org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file looks like
#Mon Aug 30 11:49:17 EDT 2010
RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=2
MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=5
SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=false
eclipse.preferences.version=1
RECENT_WORKSPACES=C\:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\testWorkSpace,C\:\
\Documents and Settings\\user\\IDLWorkspace,C\:\\Documents and Settings
\\user\\Desktop\\Baseline,C\:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Baseline,C
\:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\IDL Workspace 2
So in this case I end up with C\:\\Documents and Settings\\wclift01\
\testWorkSpace
Not pretty, but it works, although some of our machines have multiple
org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs files so just be be sure, I'll need to check
the timestamp.

If you need to get it when running some procedure that sits in your
workspace directory you could use David's ProgramRootDir
print,ProgramRootDir(/oneup)

The current working directory has nothing to do with the current
workspace ~~

No. You can use
CD,CURRENT=variable
help,variable
to get the current path.
