What I did before was to put all the starting path information (default) into a .personal file, and added more paths onto that. The BIG problem is that if the default paths change, I'll have the wrong path info. If it is possible to just ADD rather then do the fooling around with it I did...that would save allot of time and effort. If I posted to the wrong group by mistake, if someone could 'repost' it to the correct one, or still help me, that would be great.
