directories problem

[Dan Perl]

Many thanks, Peter!  Just like someone in the thread you are mentioning, I 
have to go now and change a few scripts that I have.

And I guess that should give a solution for Lowell also.  In each script 
that's called with os.system( ), get the path of the script (use 
os.path.split) and append the 'config.txt' file (use os.path.join).
