- Using xLotus 1.1 (@INFO("release") gives "3.00.01"). How can it respect your
- shell's current directory at the time of invokation? The 123 Sun manual
- glossary entry for "current directory" states:
-
- "... or with the directory from which you started 1-2-3, which is used if
- /Worksheet Global Default Dir or /File Dir have not been specified."
-
- This implies a mode for this. How do you "unspecify" those two directories?
- Deleting the configuration file fails.
-
- This works: '(ln -s ~/.l123set>&/dev/null; setenv HOME $PWD; 123 )' and maybe
- usually one can even live with any side effects.
-
- Assuming this glossary entry is wrong, and the directory should be set from an
- autoexec macro, is there a common initialization worksheet always loaded (when
- it exists) whose autoexec macro can be used? I thought I recalled previous
- posts regarding this. I know I can emulate it using the -w option.
-
- Any pointers appreciated, thanks.
