Description
Returns the current path.
Syntax
CurDir[(drive)]
The drive argument is a string expression that specifies an existing drive. In Microsoft Windows, if no drive is specified or if drive is zero-length (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive. On the Macintosh, CurDir ignores any drive specified and simply returns the path for the current drive.
