I have a question that might have a simple answer or not. When you have a program that a user can install anywhere, how can the program get the drive and folder where it's been copied to?

Really easy just use IDOS->GetProgramDir() and if you want to disambiguate the result (under several volume with the same name can be mounted at the same time ex. USB Key with name 'NoName') use IDOS->DevNameFromLock() on the result.

By convention we use "PROGDIR:' to find the program directory. So that path can be used as a root volume pointing to the program directory or be CD'ed to.
