Hi,

I am considering introducing Factor to students as an example of a 
concatenative language, but I am having some problems with the way Factor is 
set up which make it very hard to deploy onto a Windows network such as the one 
we use.

1. Factor's default work directory is a subdirectory of its install directory 
which normally would not be writable for users. Although work directories can 
be added it seems that the default cannot be changed permanently. Is there a 
way to alter the default work directly? 

2. As Factor starts up it generates an encryption key and saves it to the All 
Users profile (I'd really like to know why it is doing this!). However it does 
not actually set the ACL to give all users access to the file, and if Factor is 
started by a user who cannot access this file it immediately halts. Is there a 
way to prevent this and why is Factor doing it anyway?
