That's what I thought, but then someone I work with suggested that
terminal services didn't quite work like that. He seemd to think that
there was something else going on than simply a logical mapping, but he
was unsure. So I'm here looking for more information (couldn't really
find much using Google). I've asked the powers-that-be if we could get
such a system for testing on, so if I'm lucky, I will be able to do
some experimentation soon.

Do you *know* that I can simply use .\ and it will work on a terminal
services system?

I seem to recall that the user's working space is a separate folder
than any exe they might be running. i.e. the exe is located on
J:\programs, and the user's folder is mapped locally to W:\john (but is
really c:\users\home\john on the server).
