Yep.  And if you want to specify a directory relative to that in which 
the installer is located, you can start with a single colon, as in

        cpin :installer-subdir:ADBTEST.132 /adbtestkernel

And, you can always use :: instead of the UN*X ../ to specify the next 
level up, as in

        cpin ::installer-superdir:otherdir:ADBTEST.132 /adbtestkernel

Last time I tried the quotes, it works just fine.
