  15. Could someone clarify the use of the environment variables that
  16. Executor uses?  The FAQ doesn't really explain what they do.
  17.  
  18. * ConfigurationFolder "+/Configuration"
  19. * SystemFolder "+/ExecutorVolume/System Folder"
  20. * PublicDirectoryMap "+/DirectoryMap"
  21. * PrivateDirectoryMap "~/.Executor/DirectoryMap"
  22. * DefaultFolder "+/ExecutorVolume"
  23. * MacVolumes "+/exsystem.hfv;+"
  24. * PrintFolder "/tmp"
  25. * ScreenDumpFolder "/tmp" 
  26.  
  27. What's the difference between the private and public directory maps?
  28. Does every user need one of each?  Also, I assume I have to copy the
  29. contents of the distributed "System Folder" to each user's private
  30. directory, but what about the other directories; do I copy the
  31. contents of the other directories as well, or will Executor re-create
  32. them?
  33.  
  34. Also, does each user need a private screen dump or print folder,
  35. i.e. does Executor create tmp files with unique names?
  36.  
  37. Lastly, is there any easy way to handle updating these folders on a
  38. per user basis when I install a newer version of Executor?
  39.  
  40. Thanks
