DAVEX looks for it's commands in the last directory it was ran from. Yes...more specifically, it looks for commands in all the directories that are in the 'scan' list, and this normally includes "%" (which stands for the directory you're currently running Davex from). (Type "= %" to see what its value is.) The pathname for help can be set with 'config -h', but it's normally "%help". If you really feel like it, you can have more than one copy of Davex lying around, each in its own directory, and you can launch another copy and later quit from it back to the launching copy, just as you can launch and quit from any other SYS application. (Except in v1.23 there is a bug where Davex will quit to -itself- by accident if you have launched any SYS applications from that copy of Davex. This is fixed for 1.3, which is still prototype.) -- --David A. Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems Apple II Developer Technical Support | P.O.
