5.4.8. File Class

The File class provides services which are common to all Rexx-supported filesystems. A File object represents a path to a file or directory. The path can be relative or absolute.

If you create a File object with a relative path, the absolute path will be calculated using the current default directory. This absolute path is memorized on the File object, and will not change if you change the default directory.
