Ahh, this may be where I am getting lost. Are you saying that
PROGDIR can only be accessed by calls that belong to the dos.library?
I was looking for examples of its use a year or two ago and found it in
the source code for the program Term. Several times the author
uses something like
strcpy (Path->Config->HelpFile, "PROGDIR:Term.guide");
How does this work?
