Hi Tom;

Has there been a discussion about directories specified when starting
emelfm2.  Currently, directories relative to the current directory are not
accepted. I have to use the full path.

I'd like to be able to simply say

% ls
docs  icons src po

% emelfm2 src

instead of saying 'emelfm2 `pwd`/src

   Thanks.
