Setting Custom Environment Variables 2005-06-16 - By Matthias Worch
Back
Unfortunately I can't remap drives on my work machine without a whole
lot of trouble, so storing a string with the pathname would be the
cleanest solution.
XSI does have the concept of an %appdir (or something similar, can't
find any documentation right now), right? Could that be extended?
