Is there a nifty way of specifying the directory with input focus?
What I want is to tell the path of that directory to an app that is 
running.

The currently selected directory (CSD) is represented by "@", which I 
didn't know till today.

But CSD is not the same thing as "directory with input focus" -- which is 
a standard feature in newer versions of the OS (since 5.22 at least) -- 
ie, the directory with lit-up titlebar, to which keystrokes can be 
directed such as F4 (full info) or ^W (make this the CSD).

Is there something as nifty as "@" for this newer purpose?

>> "From" address is genuine but will change.  Website has current one.
