Calling Start viles via relative paths

Hello,
I am running Oracle 7 Server Release 7.1.4.1.1 on a DEC3000/600 running OSF/1.
Under SQLPLUS, I am attempting to write several routines for input output.
Initially, I decied to place all I/O routines in a directory called
/dsk/user/tools.
When I referenced a routine called input in tools I used:
start /dsk/user/tools/input prompt_text variable_name parameter
Now, I need to move this routine and many others to a new location. Now would
be the appropriate time to create a path symbol so that I can do the following:
start tools_path/input prompt_text variable_name parameter
3) make future changes only to the initialization procedures that will
alter the tools_path specification.
Thanks for your time and effort on this.
