# I think this is a great idea!!!!! It would also be good for help files

Try using the Set Paths or HFSFind DA. I believe both do what you want.
I created a Preferences, LaserFonts, etc, folder to which I point
with Set Paths. Some (not all) applications fall for it.
I surely agree that Apple should provide for this...
