[Dx4win] SWL labels lost and save log in 707 directory

[Mel]

I have made this mistake in the past... and I should know better.

For this reason... I never work with my original set of files... only a 
copy. As Jim alluded to in an earlier post... the problem is the Windows 
Common Dialog Control doesn't display the path to the directory. It's 
not just with DX4Win I have had this problem...
