Help needed - To get path of a directory

[Bishwarup Banerjee]

Dear Emmanuel,

Thank you for your reply.
Actually what I want to do is, at the run time I want to know the location
of a specific directory.
Then I will add some file name to the path and load the file.
The directory can reside in any drive, depending on the user.

With Warm Regards,
