Importing a file causes "working folder" to change

I have written HAL routines to import data from another system into Standard ERP. In single user mode on Windows, once I've imported a file, the "working folder" for Standard ERP changes to the folder containing the imported file. This folder suddenly contains hansa.log and uptime.tmp. If I recompile HAL, hal.hob is also created in this folder, and the client reverts to a non-customised version.


The only way to fix this is to restart the client. Is this a bug or is there something that can be added to the HAL to stop this happening?
