SUMMARY

FoxDoc can be used to search multiple directories for program files. To do this, you must use generator directives.

MORE INFORMATION

The FoxDoc system screen contains an entry field labeled "Path for program source code." One MS-DOS path may be entered in this field. To force FoxDoc to search additional directories, the generator directive 

   *#FOXDOC PRGPATH <pathname>
must be included in the program source code. The source code will view these directives as comments, but FoxDoc will execute the command.

Multiple directories require a separate generator directive for each directory. For example, if program files are located in the directories C:\APPLIC\PRGS and C:\APPLIC\PROC, the following code is appropriate: 

   *#FOXDOC PRGPATH c:\applic\prgs
   *#FOXDOC PRGPATH c:\applic\proc
