> Statement that AmigaOS has no way to specify the

This was to be a mail reply, but I decided that more people
might be interested in the answer:
AmigaOS does indeed have a way to specify the current directory:
(Drum roll please...)
""
That is right whereas in UNIX we say cp <file1> <file2> .
in AmigaOS we say, copy ram:test "".
This command will copy the file ram:test to the current directory
under the same name test.
By the way, under UNIX we can say cp /tmp/xx "" and this
too will copy the file xx to the current directory!
Neat!
