finally catching up here....
Let's talk more about this. When you read a state script, you use the
script command, so perhaps what we are talking about is an option that
allows conversion of directories there. That said, you can do this:
var x =
load("myscript.spt").replace("file:/Volumes/nggroup/external/test/","../jmol/")
script inline @x
x = none
Wouldn't this suffice? Anything else is just convenience, I think. By
the way, that third line guarantees that x itself does not become part
of the state. (VAR should do that as well, though).
