I just installed the MPW shell on my hard disk. (This is the first time
I've used MPW.) The logical place for me to put the thing is in
hd:programming languages:mpw:
but that didn't work. For some reason, the mpw folder has to be at the root
level.
As I said, I'm just now learning about MPW and I haven't had a chance to
read and understand the documentation too much yet. Is there some way of
telling MPW that I want it to use a slightly different directory structure?
(All I want to do is move the mpw folder down one level; other than that, I'll
leave their folder structure intact.)

You probably have to change the definition of the {MPW} variable in the Startup file. As shipped, it is "{Boot}MPW:"; sounds like you want "{Boot}Programming Languages:MPW:" Me, I have things set up so that things I've changed are in a different place, "{Boot}Local:", and the MPW subdirectories are absolutely as shipped, except for the Startup file which contains one line: Execute "{Boot}Local:Startup" Makes it much easier to install updates. Note that things like CIncludes, RIncludes, etc., are search paths - you can define them as "{Local}CIncludes:,{MPW}CIncludes:" for example, and your changed files will be searched first, MPW's original files if you haven't changed that one.
