If you wrote the script, then you know where you put it, so the simplest 
way is just to hard code the directory at the top of the script.

If you want to be able to move the script around and have it still work, 
that doesn't work.  See the thread in this list entitled "Re: [R] 
relative file path" from about 4 days ago for some dirty methods to 
handle that case.
