From Adrian Roth:

Environment: WordPerfect 9.0.0.896
Windows XP Professional SP 3
When I try to use the following macro commands:
PrefLocationOfDocuments or
PrefLocationOfMacroFiles

I get a ‘Parameter error’ message, regardless of the parameters specified. The parameter in error is not indicated. Is there something special about these commands, something that I should know?

Those commands are in the old style, where each command includes a set of brackets and options. I’ve had reliable results by ignoring them. Instead, go to the WordPerfect Macro Help file, and browse through the section of “Current WordPerfect System Variables”. I think you’ll use “?PathDocument” and “?PathMacros”, but there are also options for the supplemental folders for each of those settings.

These system variables are easy to use without parameters; this sample works in my code, to assign the current Graphics path to a variable named GPath:

GPath:=?PathGraphics
