PATH= is a valid parameter in CONFIG.FPW. When the app starts for the first time, ask the user where the data files reside. Read CONFIG.FPW into a temporary table with one field (C,256), delete the original PATH=, add a new PATH= with the new path name, then copy the table to CONFIG.FPW type SDF. Initialize the new path with SET PATH TO or the user can shutdown and restart.
