For Pharo 7: The working directory is C getcwd(). The differences you are seeing will be the result of how Pharo is launched. If you run it from the command line, it will be the current directory of the shell. I don't use MacOS, but it sounds like dragging a file to an executable always uses the root directory as cwd. The working directory is cached in DiskStore DefaultWorkingDirectory. It's set at session startup to DiskStore class>>defaultWorkingDirectory, which ultimately calls getcwd(). HTH, Alistair
