OK ignore #1-Sorry about that!
I expected the dialog to be UNDER idl but its actually idl
So I found that place.

My basic problem is that when I switch workspace
the current directory is not switched to the new orkspace
and if I am reading in any files I expect to be IN that workspace idl
cant find them.

Whats the best way for dealing with this tangled mess?

And BTW: question3, my evil experiment, still holds true.
