The path name used in a 'PICTURE' mnemonic when printing under WindX will depend on your Host server and OPEN statement.

If you are running on a WINDOWS host/server and you open with just "*winprt*" you are opening a channel to the servers Windows print server thus the path name should be relative to the host application and where it is running.

If you are running on a NON-Windows host/server and you open with just "*winprt*" or if you open with "[wdx]*winprt*" regardless of the type of server you are using, then the path name in the 'PICTURE' mnemonic needs to be relative to the Windx session.

For Example if you issue OPEN (1) "[wdx]*winprt*" and issue a PRINT (nn) 'PICTURE'(...,"xxx"), the pathname "xxx" will be forwarded and resolved based on the current directory of the WindX workstation.
