Really? I thought the stuff was being created in and read from the
*current* directory.

So when pwd is ~ and you type
    htlatex Documents/TeXShopfiles/filename
it goes wrong but when pwd is Documents/TeXShopfiles and you type
    htlatex filename
it should work.

Isn't that the case?

PS. And sorry about not having fixed this, but I am/have been ill. I would
still like to get a small test file with problem report before I attack
this, otherwise I cannot test the effectiveness of the updated
distribution.
