Bill,
Not a direct way but :
1) Use relative paths thus you would need fewer chars.
c:\myworkdir\forms
c:\myworkdir\reports
...
Set default dir "c:\myworkdir"
Search path : forms;reports;...

2) Write a short prg containing default and search paths. Call it on startup.

For foxuser, it might be set resource=off. In any doubt just delete foxuser.*, they will be automatically created afresh when resource is on.
