Thanks, Gene. I had already set the path in PROGRAM_PREFIX, but what I didn't notice is that it is case sensitive - or at least that I had entered lower instead of upper case. Just going too quickly, I guess. Changing the case to CNC_files got it working fine. I did as I guess most of us do, and edited the .ini file for that machine, carefully defining the paths for the program files, the subroutines and the user M-codes. On revisiting this problem, I re-read the documentation and discovered (or rather read more slowly) a couple of useful things I didn't know, so all of this has been helpful. >> The other real annoyance is that when I select the correct directory, >> the window that opens is always too small. > > Yup, that default is always too small, but I expect its a recompile to > fix it.

OK; so this one is not something I can control. I will see if I can request this for the development cycle, as it is irritating. A window that automatically opens, say, 3/4 the size of the existing monitor size would be ideal, I think. Associating the mouse wheel with the slider is a good idea.
