RE: Windows User path

>>Yep, but it has %USERPROFILE% :-)

Yes on winXP and win2000, but I will have to verify that this is true for
win98. What you are suggesting will permit different users to have their own
PyDS database. I like that because I wouldn't have to manually fiddle when I
want to run separate instances, each with different features.

I will change the install to default to %USERPROFILE%, if it exists in the
user's environment .. and set HOME to it at PyDs runtime. Or should I use
one of the alternates?:
>>use %HOMEDRIVE% and
>>%HOMEDIR% (or was it %HOMEPATH%?)
