Hi Blanton,

How are you starting Sparky? Do you double click the icon, or do you
run from a terminal

/Applications/Sparky.app/Contents/MacOS/sparky

or do you use the terminal open command? I suspect you will have to
start from a terminal using the actual executable path, or Sparky wont
get your environment variables.

Hi,

When I set the SPARKYHOME environment variable from the command line
in terminal to point to my current working directory, and launch
sparky, I still receive a prompt to create the lists, save, and
project directories in my home directory. However, If I include the
setenv variable in my .cshrc script everything works fine. I have
multiple projects and would like to have the setenv SPARKYHOME
included as part of my .alias file but cant seem to get things to
work just from the command line. Any insight you can provided would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Blanton
