Which reminds me: What about including some mechanism so that the following could vary from one Mathematica version to another when more than one is installed? $AddOnsDirectory $UserAddOnsDirectory $BaseDirectory $UserBaseDirectory Preferably, these would have the usual default values but could be overridden for all installations by explicit environment variable settings, and the environment variable settings and default values could both be overridden by settings within OptionInspector (assuming VersionedPreferences is set to True). Would this add undue overhead, or is it a slight overhead that is worth it?
