If NetSurf's current drive is u:\ - which it normally is when you start
if from a shell - then the path above is correct. If NetSurf's current
drive is e.g. D:\ - which it will be when you start it from most
desktops in the intuitive manner - the above path will be incorrect.

However, the question is why you have to calculate/generate a complete
path when loading the RSC? rsrc_load("<subdir>\\netsurf.rsc") would in
most circumstances be the conventional way to load the rsc, and also the
easiest one.

ls is linked with MiNTlib, and MiNTlib translates a preceding "/" to "U:
\". But GEMDOS doesn't. I'm really not a fan of MiNTlib and don't use it
for my own projects, but if I understand it correctly you must never
combine MiNTlib-paths with direct GEMDOS calls because of this
translation.
