There is no default. You should always give an absolute path.	[reply]

You still need to learn about the difference between access via HTTP and local access. HTTP uses `http://` URLs. Local access uses file paths like `C:\www\Documents\`. readdir does local access. The web browser does HTTP access.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
