Subject: standalone pico and default directory

It seems that pico on our AIX system wants to always write a file
(if no path is specified) to the home directory, e.g.

      cd .elm
      pico filter-rules

acs3:/acs3d/teale/.elm--> pico filter-rules
xxx
^X

Save modified buffer (ANSWERING "No" WILL DESTROY CHANGES) ?  Yes
File Name to write : filter-rules

acs3:/acs3d/teale/.elm--> ls ../filter-rules

../filter-rules

Is this a problem with our installation, a bug or a feature?
