I tried to use xlswrite to save data to an Excel file and found that the file
will be saved to current directory only.  If you save file to other directory,
it still saves the file to current directly.  This will cause problem when you
want to save data in multiple spreadsheets in different directory.  The saved
file only shown on the current directoy and only the last spreadsheets
existed.  Below is my testing code.
------------------------------
>> pwd
ans = C:\TomCheng\Matlab\IMGtool
>> a=0;
>> xlswrite('c:\test1.xlsx',a)
ans = 1
>>
-------------------------------
The file test1.xlsx was created on directory C:\TomCheng\Matlab\IMGtool

Below is my system configuration
OS: Windows 11
Octave: 8.2.0
IO package: 2.6.4
