How to define "Absolute Path WITHOUT trailing slashes " in the following case.

[ilya Kraft]

Hello,

I recently came over a nice tutorial of voting system. The problem is that in one of the steps it requires to define a path to the directory of this voting system.
The Folder that contains this system is called Pulse.
Inside this folder is a file named pulse.config.ph p.
Inside pulse.config.ph p is where I need to define a path.
In the following line:

define('PULSE_DIR', '[B][U]//DEFINE HERE[/U][/B]'); // absolute path of the dir where Pulse is; WITHOUT trailing slash

Normally I would define it like this ../Pulse
But here it asks to define it without SLASH and I have no idea how to do it. If anyone could help it would be great.

For additional info here is the tutorial Voting Tutorial
