Hello out there!

I'm having a bit of trouble with my new computer and Splus. Since I
didn't install Splus, I didn't get to specify the 'default' directory.
So, I RTFM'd and V&R and did the following:
1) created a shortcut
2) edited the 'start in' box to show the directory where I wanted it to
start
3) checked the 'set S_PROJ' button in the Splus preferences
4) restarted Splus

My problem is that the UI preferences get read from teh original
'default' directory and not the directory specified by the 'start-in'.
Thus, all modifications to the UI are lost when I restart.

I'm sure that this is a stupid user problem, but I just want the stupid
thing to start up in *my* default directory, not the system's default!

can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,
jcd
