You're right, %HOME% isn't set. I'll try setting it.

OK, didn't think about this long enough :-)
Yes, I also think the documancer app directory would be the best place. 

Under Windows (at least, 95 and 98), the home directory is the place for
documents, but not for configuration files. Also, files beginning with '.'
are not hidden and spam my home directory. :-) 

Maybe the best solution is to make it platform dependent - home
directory under Linux and WinNT derivates, Installation directory
under Windows 95 & derivates. How about that?
