And no such path is shown when I run the command “defaults > com.appleTextEdit”. The system must be remembering this path elsewhere. On my 10.9.5 system, the last location is remembered in the defaults for TextEdit. The command "defaults read com.apple.TextEdit NSNavLastRootDirectory" provides it. > Presumably I could get the control I want by overriding and re-implementing > -openDocument: to actually use -currentDirectory the way the documentation > says it should.

I think you should override -runModalOpenPanel:forTypes: and -beginOpenPanel:forTypes:completionHandler:. In each, you would customize the Open panel by setting the directoryURL property and then call through to super.
