[GNC] Location of reports files

[Tom Route36]

Stephen,

I understand that a user may have different data files; but you only 
have *one* data file open at a time.  What I think the user should be 
able to do is see a confirmation of the full path to that *currently 
open* data file.  And since the Help->About window provides the full 
paths to GNC_USERDATA_DIR and GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR, it seems like that 
would be the logical place to also display the location of the data file 
that is currently open.
