- - - SASV8.CFG - - - ... /* Setup the MYSASFILES system variable */ -SET MYSASFILES "?CSIDL_PERSONAL\My SAS Files\V8" -SET SASFOLDER "C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8"

further down we see:

/* location of help in OS help format */ -HELPLOC ("!MYSASFILES\classdoc" "!sasroot\core\help")

As you can see, MYSASFILES is a directory, which is used to -SET other subdirectories.

If you have having any trouble at all figuring out where ?CSIDL_PERSONAL\ is then you can use the value for SASFOLDER

-SET MYSASFILES "C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8" -SET SASFOLDER "C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8"

I'm sure I will get nailed, or my nose tickled by a LittleBirdie if I'm incorrect on this.
