NF BC Working With IRL<br />

Specifying the Path for Programs and Data Files<br />

7<br />

The directory that is current when you open the IRL Desktop becomes the path<br />

for your IRL programs and data files. However, when the current drive is C or<br />

D, the first writable drive on the reader becomes the path.<br />

If you do not want to use the current directory or first writable drive as the<br />

path, you can specify a path for programs and data files. There are several<br />

ways to specify the path:<br />

How to Specify the Path How Long the Path Remains in Effect<br />

You set the IM_IRLPROG<br />

and/or IM_IRLDATA<br />

environment variables in<br />

your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.<br />

You set the IM_IRLPROG<br />

and/or IM_IRLDATA<br />

environment variables at the<br />

DOS prompt.<br />

You include the path for a<br />

data file in the OPEN<br />

command.<br />

You select the path from the<br />

IRL Desktop.<br />

This change remains in effect until you reset the<br />

path to another value. Each time you boot the<br />

reader, AUTOEXEC.BAT sets the path according<br />

to the environment variables.<br />

Note: If you do not set the environment variables in<br />

AUTOEXEC.BAT, the current directory or first<br />

writable drive becomes the path when you boot the<br />

reader.<br />

This change remains in effect until you reset the<br />

path to another value or boot the reader.<br />

The next sections describe these tasks:<br />

• Setting the Path With an Environment Variable<br />

• Including a Data File Path in the OPEN Command<br />

• Selecting the Path From the IRL Desktop<br />

This change remains in effect for the data file until<br />

you modify the OPEN command.<br />

This change remains in effect until you reset the<br />

path to another value, boot the reader, or exit the<br />

IRL Desktop.<br />
