Cross-platform BBC BASIC (Windows, Linux x86, Mac OS-X, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi)
Non-Android (ok, I've only tried Windows, RISCOS and BBC) chain the file you can see, Android tries to find a file hidden behind the mystery door (I think in /mnt).
Doing CHAIN @dir+A$ results in always looking for a file in the directory the executing program was launched from, not the one you're looking at.

Well, not "was launched from" but "is stored in" (which is what @dir$ means). You took my comment too literally: when suggesting @dir$+filename$ I was of course using that as an example of a fully-qualified (absolute) path. You could use @usr$ or @tmp$ or @lib$ - or a path specified relative to one of those - and it would work just as well. It's just that in Android you cannot pass a relative path (which by definition means 'relative to the Current Directory') since there is no 'Current Directory'.
There is no need for any "investigation", that's how Android works. It's good practice to use absolute paths on all platforms so it shouldn't be an onerous requirement.
