Where did you find out about $PreferencesDirectory? In Mathematica 5.2 I don't find it in the HelpBrowser, and I don't get any help if I evaluate ?$PreferencesDirectory (other than it being in the System context, with Attribute Protected, and its current value). Perhaps $PreferencesDirectory is now deprecated? Cannot $UserBaseDirectory accomplish the same thing? Jens-Peer Kuska wrote: > Hi, > > a) what may the $Path variable do ?
