IDL 6.3 Directory Change? [message #51784]

Folks,

I've recently had to upgrade to IDL 6.3 (I wanted to be
able to read Ronn Kling's Christmas card!). But in reading
it, I've noticed strange behavior for the second time. Is
this something new? Here is the situation.

1. I install an IDL program that requires several files
all in the same folder. I create a new folder in my
working IDL folder for the files.

2. I change directories to the new folder inside of IDL
with the CD command.

3. I try to run the program. It can't find some of the files
that are in the current directory! :-(

This has GOT to be new behavior! How can it NOT find those
files? I have to put the directory on my path before I can
run the program. Surely this can't be right!?

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

David
