Thanks to all who replied to my query. See pages 9-21:9-22 of the Splus for
Windows User's Manual for details (I didn't have one handy). Here is a
summary
of the replies:
You can create project directories with their _data subdirectories (the DOS
version
of .Data subdirectories) using file manager or DOS. Then access these _data
directories with the attach() function.
Of course, that only solves half the problem, because the working directory
is still
the default. To change it to a project directory, you have some options:
1. Create a program item (a separate copy of the Splus icon) for each
project,
setting its working directory to be the desired project directory. You can
do this
through the file menu of the program manager. If you have lots of projects
you'll
end up with lots of program items.
2. Alternatively, keep a single Splus icon, but change its home directory
to the
desired project directory before running Splus.
3. You can also change the command line of the Splus program item to
"/SPLUSWIN/CMD/SPLUS.EXE HOME=.", which will start Splus in your current
working directory. You can set the current working directory by
double-clicking on
it in the file manager.
