Current dir is easy enough to find out,
but I am talking about the PROJECT folder.
The problem is that I may be running a program from a project but I
find that the workbench
has my current dir set to one thing and the project dir set to
something entirely different.

When I open a previously created project,
workbench doesnt seem to be cd'ing to the Project folder
