That's not the way that [purchase] works. If you look in the "WebCatalog Prefs" file, you will see the lines defining the location of the ShoppingCarts and Orders relative to the directory the current template is in (i.e. ./Orders). In other words, the default behavior _requires_ that the Orders directory be at the same level as the templates which call ?Purchase or [Purchase]. If you want to have a different location for your Orders files, you can change the Prefs line, but this is a /global/ change for the server. We decided long ago to use ^/Orders (or the Globals/Orders directory) which we can then ensure is never located in a web-server accessible directory.
