This is what I saw (I had backed up .fpc.cfg first) ~$ /home/bosse/lib/fpc/3.0.4/samplecfg "/home/bosse/lib/fpc/3.0.4" Running on linux No write premission in /etc. Writing sample configuration file to /home/bosse/.fpc.cfg <== HERE! Writing sample configuration file to /home/bosse/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ide/text/fp.cfg Saved old "fp.cfg" to "fp.bak" Writing sample configuration file to /home/bosse/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ide/text/fp.ini Saved old "fp.ini" to "fp.bak" Writing sample configuration file to /home/bosse/.config/fppkg.cfg Writing sample configuration file to /home/bosse/.fppkg/config/default Seems like with the omission of arg 2 the result is thath it writes to a lot of places including $home (using the leading period in the name). I don't know if my original script entry would have only written to home since it had a target as arg 2? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
