There's even more flexibility in program objects.

If you specify the directory where the program file is in the "Path and
file name" field, you can leave the "Working directory" field blank. In
this case, if you open the program object, the working directory will be
that directory automatically.

If you drop another object on it (or open an associated object) the
working directory will be the one where the opened object is, and the
program file is still found.

If you specify another directory in the "Working directory" field, this
one will be current on any use of the program object (all three ways
mentioned above), which may be useful as a default output directory
(depending on the program's capabilities).
