DEFAULT

The message value specifies a new `current working directory' required for the task. If the value is blank, no change is required; otherwise the change is made by calling the appropriate system routine.

Whether or not a change was made, the `new' current working directory is obtained and returned as the message value in final reply message. CONTROL DEFAULT can therefore be used to enquire the task's current working directory without changing it.
