All:

Question: How or where does one set R:Base-specific search paths? I've been
all around Help, R:Syntax, PDFs and must be missing the spot.

I need to be able to set a path something like this:

  RPath = D:\Rbase\Data;D:\Rbase\Data\Common;&vRCurrent

I have no problem setting a Windows User or System variable if it comes to
that. Is there an R:Base-specific variable name to use?

Thanks again all

Bruce

Background, if you have the time

I'd like to establish:

One common database folder, containing *.RX* files:

  D:\RBASE\DATA\Name*.RX*

Within that path, a 'common code' folder (e.g. startup file, backup routine,
utilities)

  D:\RBASE\DATA\COMMON\

Also within that path, individual code folders for each database:

  D:\RBASE\DATA\NAME*\

Example:

  D:\RBASE\DATA\Huey.RX*
  D:\RBASE\DATA\Louey.RX*
  D:\RBASE\DATA\Dewey.RX*
  D:\RBASE\DATA\COMMON\(Startup.rmd,Backup.rmd,Master.rff,etc.)
  D:\RBASE\DATA\HUEY\ ( Huey*.rmd |.rff | etc.)
  D:\RBASE\DATA\LOUEY\(Louey*.rmd |.rff | etc.)
  D:\RBASE\DATA\DEWEY\(Dewey*.rmd |.rff | etc.)

This allows the use of the database name in the variable which sets the code
folder current before connecting, and radically simplifies backup and file
management operations.

Where this breaks down without an explicit SEARCH PATH is the inability to
call upon COMMON resources.
