You can use <CADshell$Dir> within your program with no problems,
i.e. to open a file in your directory called 'resource':

  infile = fopen("<CADshell$Dir>.resource", "r");

-this assumes that in your !Run file you are using:
  Set CADshell$Dir <Obey$Dir>

If you want to use the same path as resspr, then use:

  {
    char pathname[256];

    res_findname("resource", pathname);

    fopen(pathname, "r");
  }

If you have done
  res_init("CADshell");
then the above code will fill 'pathname' with the string
  "<CADshell$Dir>.resource"
which can, as above, be used to find your resources.
