Relative paths don't work in Dexterity Utilities macros?

I've recorded a Macro to build a chunk file using Dexterity Utilities. I would like this Macro to run independent of where it's located on the disk. Unfortunately, I can't get relative paths to work at all even though the documentation says that it's possible.

Here's some code:

# DEXVERSION=9.00.0068.0 2 2
MenuSelect title File entry 'Close Source Dictionary'
MenuSelect title File entry 'Close Editable Dictionary'
MenuSelect title File entry 'Close Destination Dictionary'
MenuSelect title File entry 'Open Source Dictionary...'
FileOpen file '../Dynamics_myproject.dic' type 0

Interestingly, I get a error on line #8 even though the error occurs on line #6. If I put in an absolute path, the macro runs fine. What gives?

Hi Bob,

By default GP macros unable to run on relative path to create a chunk.it needs Absolute path to create a chunk to process.

Thanks,
