- Thank you, I shall enjoy playing with this, did you say WW5 is now
- shipping, excellent, thanks again. Is it possible for WW5 to use an env:
- variable, such as env:WWLocation, which could contain the path of
- Wordworths' support files? In this manner Wordworth 5 could 'cd' itself
- to the correct location. The envarc: variable could be created by the
- installer. What yer think?
-
- The only reason I suggest this, if it can't be done already, is for
- easier use with a file manager. Something like SID2.01 pro or DOPUS will
- let you cd to a source or destination directory but without a script,
- either DOS or AREXX, you can't directly edit files on the press of a
- button (using Wordworth). Whereas, if Wordwoth could take care of it's
- own location in the above manner, the file manager (for example), could
- utilise WW5 in allsorts of different ways. I know everything can be now
- achieved by writing scripts, but for the sake of one env: variable and
- 100ish bytes of memory, WW5 could be made much more versatile.

- Just my tuppence worth...
