How do you get the location of the current file?

I am working on a data export function for a calc sheet that is destined for cross platform use (Mac, Linux, Win) and one feature is the ability to write a text file summary.

I am trying to devise a method of coming up with a default data location for writing the file based on where the current file is saved but can't find that as a function. CurDir returns a value of /usr/lib/openoffice/program

Right now I have a user input dialogue but this is a poor substitute solution for me.

Thanks.

Thanks much... it is always the simple things that are easy to overlook.
