Thomas,

When you have initiated PythonWin, try opening (^O) the file you wish to 
debug.  By selecting the file directory and file you have chosen the 
current working directory for the file.

Alternatively, in the Windows Explorer, try right clicking on the py 
file you wish to debug.  One of the options given is likely to be PythonWin.
