4.9.3.9 GetFullPathName

[/SHORT] user_var(output) path_or_file

Assign to the user variable $x, the full path of the file specified. If the path portion of the parameter is not found, the error flag will be set and $x will be empty. If /SHORT is specified, the path is converted to the short filename form.

yep, this could have been unclear, but this is the function to convert a path to the 8.3 filesystem
