Hello

I think there are several different paths you can travel ... and my two cents (in euros that is).

1) Peter has given you a good suggestion.... 2) I have a tendency to stray from modifying the cfg-files as it may include global configuration options to your site. Stepping on my own toes one too many times, I have started using the autoexec file quite extensively with the -autoexec system option. I actually have several depending on what I am to do, ie one for production environment, one for development, and one for play. Shell scripts might be in order if you want some configuration options.

If you just wish to have certain macros be used before others, just set up your FMTSEARCH option to include your "personal library" before any of the rest. I suggest you refrain from modifying your cfg file for just a FMTSEARCH option.
