Default folder for the day

Default folder for the day

While I do understand setting the default folder for when I load QP, 
  usually set to \MyDocuments.  But once I start using files from a 
specific folder for a session, QP doesn't remember that folder to 
open other files and each time I go for another file, the 'Open 
File' window is back to the default, \MyDocuments.  WordPerfect does 
a good job at remembering where I am at while I stay in a WP 
session. Obviously, when I exit WP it will go back to the default 
folder.  Is there a setting that I can tweak to make QP remember 
folders for a session?  I can't find any!

Since QP and WP are in the same Suite, the method to do it is the same. 
   Maybe you forgot how you did it in wp.

In both Applications, enable Enhanced File Dialogs in the Settings for 
Files.

To set it in the enhanced file open dialog: File > Open > Edit > Change

Default Folder > Close.

True, - But in WP I don't have to change the default each time I 
start using a new folder.  It just assumes I will be working in this 
current folder until I load a file from another folder, then it 
accepts it for a current default.  This works great me.  When I exit 
WP and restart it, WP then goes to the original default, in my case 
\MyDocuments -  Keith

Sorry, I misinterpreted "Change Default Folder' to mean a permanent 
change.  I guess I don't remember having to change WP.
Thank you both for your patience.  -  Keith

Yes. And QP behaves in exactly the same way, following Kenneth's 
initial steps:
File|Open|Edit| see that Change_Default_Folder is checked
