This is simply incorrect; "./" refers to the current directory but "/" 
refers to the root directory.

Note that sink("./mung.txt") gives the same result as sink("mung.txt"). 
I.e. the "./" is redundant.

If you have a directory "gorp" in your current directory, then

     sink("gorp/mung.txt")

will put the sink() output into the file "mung.txt" in the directory "gorp".
