PRINT PATH$


FUNCTION TITLE$ '=== SHOW CURRENT PROGRAM
SHARED PATH$
DECLARE LIBRARY 'Directory Information using KERNEL32 provided by Dav
  FUNCTION GetModuleFileNameA (BYVAL Module AS LONG, FileName AS STRING, BYVAL nSize AS LONG)
DECLARE LIBRARY

FileName$ = SPACE$(256)
Result = GetModuleFileNameA(0, FileName$, LEN(FileName$))
IF...THEN Result THEN
  PATH$ = LEFT$(FileName$, Result)
  start = 1
  DO
    posit = INSTR(start, PATH$, "\")
    IF...THEN posit THEN last = posit
    start = posit + 1
  LOOP UNTIL posit = 0
  TITLE$ = MID$(PATH$, last + 1)
  PATH$ = LEFT$(PATH$, last)
ELSE TITLE$ = "": PATH$ = ""
END IF
END FUNCTION '' ''
Note: The actual module file name is returned. Not necessarily the Title value. The value returned can be used however.
