[Tutor] path

[kirk Bailey]

ok, I want to have a program tell itself where it lives, so it can
figure out path information.
I want it to read a config file, but it has to know where it is, and
use that to read the config file, so it knows where everything else
is! 'pwd' in unix would work, and mabe a few other things, but I do
not seem to stumble over what is needed to do this. when I tell it to
just open the file 'foo.cf' it stumbles, as when it tries to open
'./foo.cf'! Clue eagerly saught, over.
