Assume that a variable named "foo" is stored in the "current" folder. Simply use cas("foo"). Unfortunately, this works only for variables stored in the "current" folder, as shown in CP's variable manager. Normally, you could also access variables stored in another folder by using the more general form cas("folder\variable), but this doesn't work as expected. Orwell???

To be honest, as I'm not a CPBasic user, I never saw the real utility of the "current folder"... But this could be a case were it is needed. If you need something to set the current folder, just say it: I'm still opened to suggestions

If you find some Basic functions that do not exist in Lua (like PrintNatural), don't hesitate to propose (in the "Suggestions" topic) the lua functions that you would like to see in the next releases

I'm not a CPBasic user as well, but "current folder" is not directly related to CPBasic. It is the folder where variables assigned in the "Main" application will be stored, and can be changed using the Variable Manager. You are right, it's annoying, but how can we access variables from CPLua that are stored to any folder? cas("folder\variable") does not work, while folder\variable is a valid CAS command, used to access variables stored anywhere.
