I think Vic wants the .gpi script to tell where it resides.

Say, v.gpi resides in /tmp and has only a pwd statement:

        $ cat /tmp/v.gpi
        pwd

Now, "load v.gpi" should[1] give him "/tmp/, but

        gnuplot> load "/tmp/v.gpi"
        /home/weber


Contrast this with Octave's behaviour:
        octave:1> source "/tmp/v.m"
        basedir = /tmp

where v.m contains the one line from Vic'c first post.


[1] By "should" I mean what Vic wants.
