| It's dead-easy to do this anyway. I have /work1/news/lib and

  Not what I said... I don't want to run my directories elsewhere and
hack all the news software plus all the utilities I have inhereted and
written, etc. I want to use standard names for things but have them
elsewhere. This works in V.4.
