However the drive name for usb-drive changes and causes a difficulty. It is the absolute paths are kept in various files under j601/user/config such as that shown below. Will it be possible to make them relative to paths inside SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_ and USERFOLDERS_j_ ? so that it becomes STARTUP=: '~config/startup.ijs' config.ijs: STARTUP=: '\home\bill\j601\user\config\startup.ijs' projects.ijs: PROJECTLOOKIN=: 'c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\' PROJECTRECENT=: 0 : 0 c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\vb5 c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\vb6 ) recent.ijs: RECENT=: 0 : 0 \home\bill\j601\system\main\gl2.ijs \home\bill\j601\system\packages\graphics\vkeys.ijs \home\bill\j601\profile.ijs ) -- regards, bill
