OK, this now works as expected. Do you have a recommendation as to where Wolfram applications be stored -- under [$TopDirectory]\AddOns\Applications or under [$AddOnsDirectory]\Applications? For example, Mathematica distributions come with documentation, only, for Wavelet Explorer, in [$TopDirectory]\AddOns\Applications\Wavelets\Documentation\English. But I have the actual Wavelet Explorer application, which I now have installed in [$AddOnsDirectory]\Applications\Wavelets. Should I remove the documentation in the former location and leave it just in the latter? In other words, where will the Help Browser look first? Similar questions arise with respect to Astronomer, Calculus Wiz, etc. John Fultz wrote: > You can set the default value of the parent of $AddOnsDirectory and > $UserAddOnsDirectory via an environment variable, which works for both FE > and kernel. > > MATHEMATICA_ADDONS for $AddOnsDirectory > MATHEMATICA_USERADDONS for $UserAddOnsDirectory -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
