Jackie, I don't think we're going the right direction here.

Any other ideas?

Yeah, that doesn't look right. I was thinking inside your Shortcut.bat
script where you are using "cd" already, but maybe it's no good after all.

Except, of course, that by progressively guessing we're gonna get this. :-)

I'm gonna go back over to windows and see if I can Fiddle with the
options a little more.

If it can be of any help to you, you can get the directory of the

I tried to look more into this myself since I think I can get the
picture now.
The main shortcut...
Target: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K call run.bat
".\gcc_eq32\Shortcut.bat"
Start in: F:\

"Start in" must point to an absolute path if it will be launched from
anywhere other than F:\.
Otherwise you can take away everything in "Start in".

run.bat will set the current working directory,
set wd=%~dp0workingdir
....
cd /D %d%
, before calling your Shortcut.bat script. The working dir would in this
case be F:\workingdir. You can change it as you like.

If you're interested, here you go...
Folder structure: http://i43.tinypic.com/14cv1jm.png

run.bat
----------------------------------------
@echo off
rem Sets up the correct working directory and the correct path for the
app (or your Shortcut.bat?)

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set arg1=%1
call :DeQuote arg1
set wd=%~dp0workingdir
set appPath=%~dp0%arg1%

cd /D %wd%
call "%appPath%"

goto :eof

rem Code from http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-dequote.html
:DeQuote
SET _DeQuoteVar=%1
CALL SET _DeQuoteString=%%!_DeQuoteVar!%%
IF [!_DeQuoteString:~0^,1!]==[^"] (
IF [!_DeQuoteString:~-1!]==[^"] (
SET _DeQuoteString=!_DeQuoteString:~1,-1!
) ELSE (GOTO :EOF)
) ELSE (GOTO :EOF)
SET !_DeQuoteVar!=!_DeQuoteString!
SET _DeQuoteVar=
SET _DeQuoteString=
GOTO :EOF
----------------------------------------

Example Shortcut.bat
----------------------------------------
@echo off
rem Get directory for this script
set dir=%~dp0

echo Current dir: %cd%
echo Dir for this script: %dir%

echo Todo: Launch gcc stuff>todo.txt
----------------------------------------

Output when running gcc.lnk
----------------------------------------
Current dir: D:\script\workingdir
Dir for this script: D:\script\gcc_eq32\
----------------------------------------

Text printed to todo.txt goes into workingdir.
