Thanks Jeremy! I'd forgotten about that option.
Because my program also runs on some computers as an exe made by Ocra 
(another complication), I've added a bit of code at the start that uses 
File.dirname(__FILE__) if Dir.pwd evaluates as the root. It's not 
perfect but no one should be running this from a root drive anyway. I'll 
change the shortcut as well.
