I don't know about windows. On windows I expect to put everything in one
directory and if I can find this then I have the help files, pixmaps
etc... However on linux you put the different files in designated
directories.

By the way on windows if you want to write a config file for the current
user, how do one find the "Home directory"? I mean on NT you usually
have write protection unless administrator so I would like to write and
read the configurations from a directory (Profile ?) where the user has
write access.
