Long long ago I tried but couldn't get it to work. Using separate directories 
was a straightforward workaround. The facility has probably been fixed for 
ages...

But an extra directory is a _tiny_ overhead. Why worry.

The worst that happens is that you get an "already running" message, or 
the "just testing" dialogue if the .ini files don't exist where you happen to 
be.

In any case I'm not advocating putting mprime on a system-wide path. The point 
is that, if you have ~/bin on $PATH, the referenced directory is different 
for every user that has his/her own home directory.
