If you happen to have OSProcess/CommandShell loaded in your image, then
have a look at ShellSyntaxTestCase. For any kind of file path exxpansion
implemented in the image, those tests document my expections :-)

For example:

    ShellSyntaxTestCase>>testAppendPathToPath04
        | path |
        self unix ifTrue:
            [path := shellSyntax appendPath: '../bin/vi' toPath: '/usr/bin'.
            self should: [path = '/usr/bin/vi']]

So if FileDirectory default was '/usr/bin' and if I specified the relative path
'../bin/vi', then my expectation is that the path would resolve to '/usr/bin/vi'.

But we probably both agree that this kind of path expansion does not need to be
done in the image.
