one major problem with this though IMHO: pretty much any character is valid in 
a filename (eg the forward slash), requiring a somewhat non trivial parser. 
("8/9/10" is a valid filename)

maybe a chdir/getcwd kind of thing that basically sets and returns _currdrive 
(and possibly at a future time the actual directory of a CMD device or sth) is 
the better alternative, as then only programs that really need it can use 
those.
