That's the serialized form, for seeing a verbatim copy of the string
content:
> (print (current-directory) "\n")
C:\Program Files\Gambit-C\v4.6.6\bin\
..or in pieces..
> (string->list (current-directory))

In the code in your previous email, you can leave object->string out as
what you want right there is a verbatim copy of the string's content, and
not what that procedure produces, which is a serialization though with a
string as output rather than the console (as you showed an example of above)
.
