Getting current working directory (ala 'pwd')

Ok.. In poking around I thought I could get the current
working directory by issuing something like the following:

Transcript show: (Directory working path); cr.

However, it displays the parent of the pwd.. Any ideas
on how to effectively get the return value of 'pwd'?

Thx!

Just "Directory working", or possibly "Directory working asString".

used ST in >6-8 months and am a bit rusty..

Yeah, it depends on what you actually wanted.

np, file/directory handling is possibly the least standardized part of
the whole language.

The thing I had forgotten was to try using the convert method  
"asString"..  I know
a lot of things will have those as helpers -- but obviously not  
everything.. :)

Thanks!
