I was wondering how to do that myself... however, here is my bigger dilema:

I have Optigold on my C drive, and my datafiles on my D drive (to make
backups easier on my Network Admin). My question, is this: is there a way
to change the default directory that Optigold uses to search for the
MainMenu_.USR file?

If there is, I would appreciate knowing how to do that, as that would finish
off the automation for my server (if I put OGISP in my start menu, it still
needs me to find the MainMenu_.USR file). If there isn't a way to change
the default directory, would this be something that could be easily added
into later versions?

Thanks!
