If you hadn't written "be_app", I would have assumed you mean the current
working directory. There's a POSIX function getcwd() which provides the
path as a string. Or you can use BPath(".").Path(). Or, if you need a
BDirectory anyway, just initialize it to ".".
If you mean the directory the application's executable lives in, you can
use the BApplication's GetAppInfo() which returns an app_info that contains
an entry_ref to your application's executable. You can use whatever method
you prefer to get the directory path part (e.g. BPath::GetParent()).
