In the default directory I have c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 8 as my path and use default directory is checkmarked

in the search path I am trying to put the following path;

c:\foxaudit6;c:\programming\stonefield61;c:\programming\stonefield61\sdt;c:\programming\stonefield61\sfcommon;c:\programming\stonefield61\sfquery;c:\programming\stonefield61\sdt\source;c:\programming\stonefield61\sdt\utility

of course this is not sticking when I keep going back to IDE.
