Try using the built-in variable CWD (current working directory) - it should work for many purposes.

However, it is not guaranteed to do so.   I'm not sure if it's possible to find out this information by using the Mathcad API to, say, write a user-defined function that will determine this.

I use CWD whenever I'm writing an output file or reading an input file that is stored in the same directory. It's also useful in the footer for when you're printing a PDF version of the calcs for a client and will one day want to refer back to the original file.
