Note that in R you can set the current working directory with setwd() and this is very common in R scripts.

I like the idea around #imageDirectory and #vmStartupDirectory or just #vmDirectory. And maybe renaming #workingDirectory to #userWorkingDirectory would be more clear? Assuming 1 image = 1 user?

In Pharo 7:

FileLocator workingDirectory = C getcwd() # same as R and most languages FileLocator imageDirectory = the directory where the image is located FileLocator vmDirectory = the directory where the vm is located

I like the distinction of having all three. cheers -ben
