default saving to server

Sholom Eisenstat

How can we make our Squeak installations save to a logged-in user’s default storage drive on a server?

This would have to be a permanent fix to be included on our image rather than one which a student would have to manage.

Thanks in advance.

You can specify the UserDirectory in etoys.ini:

I find it strange that the VMs use different techniques for adapting to different
operating environments. Why not pick these paths from the environment (like
LANG) instead of being hard-coded in ini/Info.plist files?

I could hack a solution for Linux/Win, but I don't know how to put in env
references in Info.plist for Mac.

This is not the right list to discuss VM implementation details.  
Please keep it on-topic.
