= SUMMARY =

A user directory should be created for each person on the network that uses Microsoft Works for MS-DOS. Works stores your personal preferences and configurations in this directory, including your personal dictionary, template files, WORKS.INI, and MACROS.INI.

When you start Works 2.0 or 3.0 on a network, the current directory becomes your user directory. It is recommended that you always start Works from this directory. However, you can start Works from a different directory as long as you tell Works the location of your normal user directory by using the /N switch.

For example, if your user directory is named “Joe” and is located on drive A, you must type “works /N A:” (without the quotation marks) to start Works from a different directory location.
