Unfortunately, when I did this with an earlier version of jove, the APPEND
did weird things.  If I tried to edit the jove.rc on my hard disk, it would
change the jove.rc on my RAM disk because of the APPEND.  This happened even
when I used an explicit pathname.  APPEND causes similar problems with many
programs.  There is an environment variable: JOVERC which should be set to
the full pathname (i.e. with the filename) of the jove.rc file.
