    Hi,

    If the default WORKINGDIR (browser tab of the settings of a WPUrl
    object) is not empty, then how do you create a WPUrl object with a
    different, empty WORKINGDIR?

    Best I can tell it's not possible.

    Can you get away with setting the the working directory to "."? It's
    not as aesthectically pleasing as having the field blank, but perhaps
    it will work for your use case.

    The most likely answer indeed.

    Probably. IRL Netscape instead of the default browser is used to
    browse local files. In this case a "." may work fine too.

    In general yet another tips & tricks-alternative for objects with
    manual or unknown (WPProgram -> SET FOO=BARs) settings is to create a
    new object by copying an existing one first. A template, which
    technically doesn't have to be a template.
