So I forced myself to track this down today, and here's the deal: it's
the Working Directory in my LW icon's properties. All this time I've
had it set to D:\NEWTEK. If I set it to D:\NEWTEK\PROGRAMS, the plug-in
lines in LW.CFG get written with full paths. Not only that, but HIIP,
which had never worked for me at all, suddenly works about as well as it
does for everyone else, ironically a huge improvement.
The original setting of the working directory came about because I thought
the .CFG files were supposed to be in D:\NEWTEK, and they are of course
written to the working directory. And LW apparently writes plug-in file
paths that are relative to the working directory, *if* that can be done by
by simply removing the directory name from the path string.
Well.
