Alan The MSWindows build off the PSPP GUI takes the current dir as the home directory. These are libraries and I can't change that behaviour.
However in the build I am uploading to sourceforge right now, the shortcuts start from the home directory. This way the MSWindows GUI will work more as expected.

I think it would be usefull if some PSPP guru could make a syntax file which can test as much functionality as possible and check the results automatically . This could be used to check PSPP on all platforms. But it will be very hard to test the gui that way. In my opinion, using the latest builds and reporting the errors would be a reasonable solution. Have fun
