Thank you for your quick reply.
I tried this, running from the Fiji script editor.
######
import os
from os import sys
from ij import IJ
print("os.cwd gives: ", os.getcwd()) # Nicholas George's response
(thank you)
print('getDir("file") gives: ', IJ.getDir("file")) # Wayne's response
#######
The output of the run after starting Fiji:
('os.cwd gives: ', '/home/amw')
('getDir("file") gives: ', u'/home/amw/Desktop/Fiji.app/macros/AutoRun/')
and after opening some image:
Started fileTest.py at Mon Jun 08 05:38:55 IDT 2020
('os.cwd gives: ', '/home/amw')
('getDir("file") gives: ', u'/home/amw/Pictures/')
