[NCSA-discuss] editors in windows, Mac

[A. Michael Salim]

Hi,

c:\Program Files\ is a good default for where the binaries and config
files are stored, but all user created content should normally be stored
under "My Documents" as a Windows convention (which is the same as
"C:\Documents and Settings\UserName" as you correctly noted).

best regards
Mike
