Dired-do-shell-command does not pass `pwd'

Hi,

I often want to type `X' in dired in order to run `soffice' (for example) on a
`.doc' file, for example: /home/sva/Desktop/xyz.doc'.
                                   ^^^^^^^^^
Though, when OpenOffice.org opens, it fails to read the file, stating it can't
find the file `/home/sva/xyz.doc'.
                        ^
Any idea how to make `dired-do-shell-command' aware of the current directory
the file is in?

Best regards,
  Seb
