Just quick questions, is that Mac OSX location (~/Library/Application Support/Sword) is mapped into env variable which is accesssible/able to get the value from System.getProperties (java program) ? or it must be hard coded ? > On Windows, JSword will use $APPDATA/Sword.

Another things, related to module install folder. Does all that variable eg: $APPDATA, $ALLUSERPROFILE, etc are accesible/retrievale/able to get the value from various programming language used eg: c/c++, java, xxx ? I do not know about other programming language, but in java, some env variable are exposed through System.getProperties(). Because if that variable is not exposed in the your favorite language, how do you know the location without hard coded ? Hard coded path can be problematic if the admin change the mapping from default location to custom path eg: on network drive.
