Dear Robert, dear Helmut,

thanks, that works nicely.

But beware: If you use the /USE <path> option it may return
a non-existing path ...

The /USE option is documented in the user manual in Section 4 under
the title "Server Installation" but I find it very useful also for
project management. The /USE option itself is handled in
HostFiles.Init & HostMenus.ReadCommandline and the <path> value
is stored in HostFiles.dir.startup.path .

If the use option is not used HostFiles.dir.startup.path contains the
path to BlackBox.exe

regards
