: It's (at least for the XM VDI) hardcoded to x:\GEMSCRAP, where x may or
: may not be hardcoded to C.  The VDI uses it when copying/pasting to/from
: DOS applications; any change to make the AES more flexible needs to be
: replicated in the GDOS, otherwise you'll get apparent hangs when using
: the DOS clipboard.

  Yes; I know what the XM VDI does, but I don't see where the AES sets up
its copy of the path. I took a quick look at GEM/2 and couldn't see where it
did it either. A dark suspicion is growing in my mind that programs have
been hardcoding it; certainly wordplus.app and publisher.app contain the
string C:\GEMSCRAP.
