[Tutor] Why does it display traceback info here and not there?

[xbmuncher]

Well you're right about the paths...
print(os.getcwd())    outputs
when run from notepad++:
c:\program files\Notepad++

when double clicked:
actual directory path

I'd like to use notepad++ to execute the scripts I edit, is there a way to
solve this problem?
