Rob, I guess you're right. I commented out the env. variables and loged in again and sure enough when I ran samples, it still pointed me to the right place. As I recall, when I first install dx and ran the samples it also looked to my home directory. So I just used the file prompter to get me to the samples and worked from there. If I recall correctly if I just chose the file it would not go to the right place when I chose another sample. But if I adjusted the filter (i.e. path) it did on the second try. I guess I don't know what to say; when I press the samples button it opens a file selector pointing at
