If I have a folder called "SomeProject" and I put an alias for this folder in "...:AddOns:Applications", then Mathematica is able to see the contents of "SomeProject" for the purposes of the "Needs" command. I could also put the original folder inside AddOns:Applications. I used an alias because it seemed to make the minimal alteration to the tree of folders that was installed. Also I happened to have the installed software on one disk and my own notebooks on another. -- Christopher J. Henrich chenrich at mail.monmouth.com
