To my knowledge, SQLPATH sets the path where files will be executed FROM, not where they will be saved to. To save the file to a specific directory, you could just specify the path in addition to the filename.

Furthermore, if you run SQL*Plus from the operating system command prompt (by typing "SQLPLUS username/password") instead of (on MS Windows) selecting it from "Programs - Oracle - Application Development - SQL*Plus", all files will be saved in a current directory.

For example:
M:\>sqlplus scott/tiger@ora10

SQL> select count(*) from dept;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         4

SQL> save cnt_dept.sql
Created file cnt_dept.sql
SQL> exit

M:\>dir cnt_dept.sql
 Volume in drive M is file sharing 1
 Volume Serial Number is 98A9-A7AE

 Directory of M:\

02.04.2007  07:41                30 cnt_dept.sql
               1 File(s)             30 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  1.130.334.281.728 bytes free

Forgot to mention ... if your SQL*Plus icon is on a desktop (MS Windows again), change its "Start in" property to desired directory (in your case, it would be "D:\wok").
