Subj : Reading files in the current dir

I have another JS question - Using load() or the File object, is it possible 
to read files in the script's current directory without specifying the full 
path, if the script is not in the SBBS exec directory?

Normally, I like to keep scripts that I develop in their own directory (not 
in the SBBS exec directory).  However, if I use load() or the File class to 
open a file, specifying the current directory (i.e., 
file.open("./someFile.txt")), it is unable to load the file, even if it's in 
the same directory as the JavaScript file.

Similarly, when using load() to load another .js file in the same directory, 
specifying "./" in the filename doesn't seem to work unless the scripts are 
in the SBBS exec directory.

Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed for JavaScript file 
directories, similar to the path environment variable?  Or is there something 
that can be done in JS to ensure that it looks in the current directory for 
load() and the File class?
