Sorry if I misled you. Yes, the draw package puts the file correctly
in the working directory, however, on my windows machine, when maxima
starts up it sets the working directory to c:\windows because it
doesn't like the shared-server directory that it sees when it starts
(\\servername\path\to\dir, instead of something like f:\path\to\dir)

So I want to change the working directory from c:\windows to something
else. How should I do this?
