Sorry, but I don't see that this specific feature has been documented. I 
mean that if you specify "PWD=XXX" in the process environment, it is 
detected by the Gambas interpreter, and then the current working 
directory of the executed process is set to XXX. It's really an hack. 
This is why I didn't document it. I even don't know why I'm currently 
talking about that. :-)
