I was kind of wondering that myself...given the frequent prior discussions here
regarding running R on iOS... :-)
My recommendation would be to use R's built in file/folder/path related
functionality, such as:
?getwd (which includes ?setwd)
?list.files
?file.info
?files
and other related functions listed under the "See Also" sections of those help
pages.
You can use getwd() to store the current working directory in a vector, execute
whatever system() level commands you need to, then restore the current working
directory to the original:
CurrDir <- getwd()
system(YourSystemLevelCallsHere)
setwd(CurrDir)
