Let me try again. I'm asking a bit of a different question. How do I tell TS where to look for additional plugin libraries?
Keep in mind that TS can serve up individual TW files. I would like to make a library of plugins available to those files, the way they can currently load plugins from the official library. Also, if the library was served up on the network, than even TW files that were not being served up (local file) could access the library. There's a way to specify additional plugin paths either for standard node.js on the command line or by using environmental variables. But I don't which, if any, approach TS can use. Thanks!
