We have a script that has hardcoded filepaths in it to data and other
function files, and I want to make it such that the whole file system
tree can be copied and run wherever.  I will probably put it under
version control, too, (http://git-scm.com) and have people in the group
"git clone/pull" a local copy whenever they want their own version to
fiddle with and run; with the hardcoded filepaths, it wouldn't run under
such a system.  

Distributed version control is REALLY good thing....

(There is someone else on this list who might know some of the scripts I
am referring to ... ;) )

Just food for thought; I think I have my specific syntax question
answered.
