if i put in a

  chdir(VBCPATH) before my speech stuff, how long will the chdir() 
  let me remain in that  directory?  my directory for my tts gtk
  application is hidden  away in ~/.VBC for now, and the binary
  has to be in that directory.  all of the text files  are
  there.  

  tx for insights,

  gary
