- were kept enabled).

- the working directory defined in the first valid command set specified for
- that Editor, if any. This means that the working directory of the first command
- set that is enabled for that Editor is made current. This will help in loading
- include files with Ctrl L (or right button double-click). If there is no

- has been changed by another process. This provides support for some version
- control systems needing this feature.
