"For some reason, SET("DEFAULT") has never been enhanced to keep up
with the times. It still returns just the drive with no path. No extra
parameters or anything to let you find the path. Of course, CURDIR()
provides the path. Even better, the undocumented SET("DIRECTORY")
gives you the drive and path as a single string."

Visual FoxPro is an amalgam of dBASE, Fox, a bunch of obscure SYS()
functions, and at least three different menu and screen design systems
you shouldn't be using any more. There's a lot of abtuse corners to
thwack your shins on.
Luckily, the language has finally stabilized, so all the
inconsistencies can be documented.
