is there a good explanation why

gives ��/�� ?

I can only answer making one of the following assumtions

- You've launched your image doing a double click

- or by doing drag and drop on a vm

- or from the command line from the root '/' directory

In any of those three cases, the operating system will assign '/' as working directory. Thus any file created from a relative path will be relative to it.

Check also:

'foo�� asFileReference parent = FileSystem workingDirectory.

'foo�� asFileReference = FileSystem workingDirectory / 'foo'.

and:

'/�� asFileReference = FileSystem workingDirectory.
