Exactly. But to get that to work *you have to ensure the "run from" position is IN the directory*.
This somewhat obscure batch seems to do it... the first line changes both the disk & directory to the one the batch is run from to ensure the command works.... cd /D %~dp0 nw.exe --user-data-dir=.\data The IDIOT problem, of course, is I was forgetting how to address the actual wikis :-). So I maybe got a perfectly flexible, portable, setup but wikis still on absolute paths. LOL. Later.
