Subject: Write a copy of the current script

I would like to write a copy of the current script being executed.
I've attempted to use __FILE__ and $0, but neither is returning the
full path name of script.  I get the file name, but not the path in
which it resides.  Anyone have a quick solution?

   def initialize
		@script = $0             # Save where the script is from
		puts "[#{@script}]"
   end

returns "[AAN_StandardSetup.rb]"


The script being run is a process setup, where the operations people
fill in script parameters.  The script then creates folder structures
and performs particular functions.  I want to save a copy of the
script after the operations people have completed filling everything
in.  It would be saved in one of the folders created by the execution
of the script.  That's my dilemma...I want to save it somewhere after
it has started executing.

Tips and suggestions are appreciated.
