Good point Hartmut, danke! I'd totally forgotten about %p, %e and %n.

But in my test situation, %p (which should be C:\) expands to ROOTDIR, which leads to the following result:

Doing [Ctrl-B]atch from C:\MC:

BATCH file name: %jp\%jn.%je\temp.bat Directory does not exist. Make new path? [Y]es

The generated file is saved as C:\MC\ROOTDIR\MC\temp.bat. :-)

Bug? (Windows) feature?
