No, it is an "hardware value" ;-)

But your suggestion is noted...

AFAIK, the working directory is used to find the various data files 
(country files, SCP etc...).

For everyone : For now, if you're using different ini files (like 
DL6RAI), it is *very* advisable to create them all in the WT 
installation directory, with different names.
