5173.0. "Current directory in V2.04 shell" by DECWET::DAVIS (Mark W. Davis 206.865.8749) Mon Nov 04 1991 19:51

    When using ARP and ADOS v1.3 I used '%' to indicate the current
    directory. i.e.  `copy sys:foobar %' which would copy sys:foobar to my
    current directory.  What is the symbol to indicate the current
    directory under v2.04? (is there a symbol to indicate the current
    directory?)  I tried '%' and '.' and got files named % and .  :)

    I wondered this for a long time as well, until I found the answer in
    a usenet posting. Under 1.3, use a "", I'd assume the same still works
    for 2.04.
