I'm teaching myself FORMS using 6i.  As a practice example I'm trying to
start
from a initial form that displays a custom menu, where some of the menu
items
will call other forms via CALL_FORM.

I can get the initial form to display the custom menu by hard-coding the
menu
directory in the Menu Module property, but the calls to the other forms
don't
assume that directory and hence can't be found.

I've found reference to FORMS45_PATH in some old documentation, but nothing
else other than the Menu Module and Menu Source properties.

Is there an accepted way of telling your application where to look for
components?
Is there a way of concatenating directories ie test components sitting on
top of
production components?
