Ahh, ok. Without the HOME environment variable set,
SciTE has always defaulted to putting those files in
SciteDefaultHome (not SciteUserHome), which I've
belatedly realized was probably not the intended
behavior.

I was originally trying to allow for individual
properties files in sub-folders within SciteUserHome.
Since the standard dialog boxes are prevented from
seeing the C: drive on the Blades, this approach would
have been somewhat unwieldy to use, so I wanted to
point SciteUserHome to the user's individual network
drive instead.

However, in the meantime, I've rethought the design,
and I think I can set it up to use
SciTEUser.properties just for minor individual
adjustments to the globally-available properties
files, which may actually be a better approach.

I'd still like a SciTE_USER environment variable (it
would complement SciTE_HOME nicely, too), but at least
for now I think the current behavior (combined with
the .ses/.recent related fix mentioned above) should
be sufficient for what I need.

Thanks for your help!
