You are right. I am confusing two things worth distinguishing,
the current working directory and the path to the saved file.
Analogously to other environments, C/Perl/Python etc, the
distinction is something like that between the variables
CWD = Initially the directory from which the application
was launched, but can change during an invokation
FILE = a path belonging to an asset of application, the path
to a script or source module.
I'm not sure the latter exists in Pd, or if it would even be helpful
if it did.

Yes. The console could even prepend a path like Bash $PS, although
many would be annoyed by that where the path grows long.
Just thinking aloud at this stage.
