I have a PS file (main.ps) in which I include an EPS file (image.eps) with

save
%%BeginDocument: image.eps
%(image.eps) run                (1) or
(path/to/file/image.eps) run    (2)
%%EndDocument
restore

Method (1) works in editor SciTE (path of file image.eps can be
found from ghostscript), but in DOS shell (command.com, Windows 7) I get  
an error message
(No such file or directory) from ghostscript (v.9.10). Method (2) works in  
both cases.

If I wanted to copy the two files to another place I would have to
change the path/to/file in main.ps **by hand**.

Now my question: Does anybody know how to get the path of a file  
**automatically** (from the OS) as a string  that I could use in main.ps?
