I always do NEWOBJECT(). In developement I use the Environment Manager to set the paths to all the needed folders for each project. I don't need a path when running from the EXE since all the resources needed are built into the EXE. I never include the paths for classes/prgs/frxs relying on SET PATH in developement and the fact that the files are built into the EXE.
