<pre><br />
<path> Full directory path specification<br />
<opt> Option tree name (path is then area)<br />
<br />
This routine is used to set the home path. This is where Midas looks for<br />
user macros. For example:<br />
<br />
homepath dua1:[midas.user.projectA] <-- VMS<br />
homepath /home/midas/user/projectA <-- Unix<br />
<br />
Typing HOMEPATH with no argument displays the current home path.<br />
<br />
If <path> = RESTORE, path will be set to the previous path.<br />
If <path> = TEST, path will be set to the test area of the sys option tree.<br />
<br />
If not the two above special cases, the homepath is set to <path>.<br />
Under VMS, if <path> does not end in a right square bracket ( ] ) or a<br />
colon (:) it appends a colon (:). Under Unix, if <path> does not end in a<br />
slash ( / ) or tilde ( ~ ) it appends a slash ( / ) .<br />
<br />
If path is not specified then the current setting of the homepath will be<br />
displayed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Keeping the HOMEPATH as the current working directory (CWD)<br />
===========================================================<br />
Since NeXtMidas 3.1.0, it is possible to set the HOMEPATH to always be the<br />
current work directory (CWD), even if the CWD changes after the HOMEPATH<br />
command. For example, if the user has a CWD of "/tmp", then...<br />
<br />
nM> homepath/cwd<br />
<br />
...will set the HOMEPATH to "/tmp". If the user then changes directories, e.g<br />
via the NMD command or CD command, the HOMEPATH changes also. For example...<br />
<br />
nM> nmd test sys<br />
<br />
... then changes the HOMEPATH to $NMROOT/sys/test. To revert back to standard<br />
HOMEPATH functionality (i.e. no longer keep in sync with the CWD), simply use<br />
the HOMEPATH command without the /CWD switch (or with /CWD=FALSE).<br />
<br />
<br />
Switches:<br />
/CWD - Sets HOMEPATH to CWD and automatically follow CWD (Since 3.1.0)<br />
/NOWARN - Do not print warning message when an invalid HomePath is specified<br />
/RESTORE - restore current to OLDHOMEPATH (same as <path>=RESTORE)<br />
/STORE - store current to OLDHOMEPATH before executing arguments. [DEF=TRUE]<br />
/VERBOSE - Display the current home path. [DEF=TRUE]<br />
