Summary: win32ui.FullPath() fails in PythonWin

Initial Comment:
A line in a method of a Class, like the following:

  self.name = win32ui.FullPath(self.name)

works fine when a script is run from the command line. 
However, it fails when run in PythonWin. From the 
command line, the full path is set for a filename. In 
PythonWin, a filename is always shown/returned as 
being in the root directory of a drive.

Using:

ActivePython 2.1.1, build 212 (ActiveState)
Python 2.1.1 (#20, Jul 26 2001, 11:38:51) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32

and the PythonWin that came with this release.

Reassigned to MarkH.  Anonymous, you should really report 
this to ActiveState.

This might not be a bug. Apparently PythonWin does not 
default to the directory of the script that is being run. 
When I close PythonWin and restart it in the directory of 
the script that is being run, win32ui.FullPath() works. I 
don't know if this is intentional behavior or not. It it is 
not, I suggest that the directory of the script in the "Run 
Script" dialog of PythonWin be the current/default 
directory.
