I am sure this question has been asked before, but
I haven't been able to find the answer.

Right now XAPPLRESDIR allows me to indicate only one
directory as the app-defaults directory. At our sight
we are using various software packages, as well as
X11R4, openwin, and other applications. What I need
is some way to indicate more than one directory path
for resources searches. 

I have already tried using XFILESEARCHPATH, by setting
it to $DIR1/%T/%N%S:$DIR2/%T/%N%S , but that does not seem
to work.

Please let me know if I am doing this right: for my xconsole
program, I have $DIR1/app-defaults/XConsole. Now, is that the
correct interpretation of %T/%N%S ?

Please let me know the answer.


Also, this may be a frequent enough question to include it
on the list of frequently-asked questions.


Thanks in advance for the answer!
