Epoch uses home directory instead of current directory

An Epoch user I know has the following problem.  When he attempts to
start epoch with a filename argument, Epoch always uses his home
directory rather than the current working directory.  For example: he
is in the subdirectory ~/code and wants to edit an existing file foo.c
so he types:

	epoch foo.c

Epoch starts up and creates a new file ~/foo.c instead of editing the
existing file ~/code/foo.c

Can anyone tell us why Epoch does not grab the current working directory
and is defaulting to the home directory?

He is running on an HP/Apollo 425t with Domain 10.3.5.  Epoch was
compiled using Domain's BSD4.3 emulation.
