Now you know why there is a COntent Directory structure to LightWave. The
whole key to the Content Directory (Options panel) is to make the scene
file paths *relative*. This way, your scene file never should contain
drive letters, but rather... "Objects\test\object" (as opposed to
G:\Newtek\Objects\Test\object". Your content drive can be mapped as
anything on the SN nodes as long as each individual coinfig file found by
the LWSN program points to the correct location for the COntent Dir. Of
course it helps to map all node machines using the same letter for the
content drive so you only have to worry about one version of the config file.

Of course, the smart way is to have the LWSN program on a shared drive on
a server and then have each machine run it from there with a different
argument to name the machine.  Read the ScreamerNEt section of the Layout
User guide for better instructions.
