Can you precede a file name with a directory in Csound?

E.g., when I want load a midi file in the options sections, I have to use
something like:

-F  Rock3.mid

But this file has to be in the same directory as my .csd file
What if this file is in another dir (absolute or relative):

-F /midis/Rock3.mid

does not seem to work (or other combinations with escape characters, etc..

It should work, it does here. eg.

-F /Users/victor/csound/scottyswiss.mid

full path from the root of the disk

-F ../csound/scottyswiss.mid

relative to the CSD location

Ok, I tried ../mydir, that does not work, but ./mydir does work.
I am on OS X, so kind of Unix..
