st: Forcing absolute file paths in output

[Martin Rune Hansen <martinrunehansen@gmail.com>]

Dear all

Is there a way to force Stata to always write abolute file paths in
the output panel? For exsample, if I export a graph I want Stata to
output

(file C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Graph.pdf written in PDF format)

instead of

(file Graph.pdf written in PDF format)

I realize that I can make Stat write the full path if I myself specify
an absolute path, but that is not what I am after. I want to be able
to type commands using relative paths and have Stata respond with the
absolute path. Is this possible? Thank you in advance.
