[scala] Working with files in Scala?

[John Warren-4]

Newb question (sorry if this is the wrong list),

Where in the API are the file operators?   Specifically I want to create a bootstrap file for a CMS so I need to define the current working directory and for some reason this simple operation seems to be eluding my searches.

Can anyone point me in the right, specific, direction?

Thanks,

Use Java's libs for that.

For some reason, they moved a bunch of file goodies into the tools
jar. scala.tools.nsc.io.{Path,Directory,File} all have good stuff in
them.

The reason is that some people objected to having them in the standard
library without a more rigorous design and review process.
