    Hi all,

    I am asking if there is a SKILL command that can return the current
    working path.
    Your help is appreciated...

    Thank you,
    Mohamed

    Although strictly speaking, pwd() is private (it actually comes from the ADE
    implementation, rather than beign core SKILL).

    So I wouldn't use it in code. It was intended to be a quick handy command for
    the CIW, rather than a function for use in code.

    For example, it's not legal in a pcell (because it requires ADE to be present in
    the executable evaluating the pcell).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
