Receiving 'NAMEERROR:name' when I try and execute my code in DEBUG mode

[telconstar99 at gmail.com]

Hey John,

Thanks for the response. I really don't know why I didn't think about that. I decided to add the following statement:

print root

When I RUN, this is what I get:
C:\My Documents\Netbeans\Mytests

When I debug, this is what I get:
C:\Program Files

Having these two directories as different directories is a problem. Any thoughts on how to detect the runtime CWD? C:\Program Files is a pretty unhelpful CWD.
