Then it asked for protocols.ini. Once again I pointed to the root of alpha 28 directory where I see the .ini file. Yet it won't work, and it seems that by default it wants to find it in the directory where my upgrade files are.
And .err file and .properties also got written to my upgrades directory. .err file reports something about adding to classpath. I don't think I like my registry growing and growing if that's what it's doing.
First of all, have no fear about the registry growing and growing. That's not what it is doing. It is just adding to the search path for this instance of the java local machine and has no permanent significance.
Now for the specific problem. I cannot reproduce it, and have tried several ways to do so. When you open a .rmdu file with RMIR it appears, for you, that it is using a different (and incorrect) working directory from when you open that file with RM. I have also looked at the code, and can see no reason for this. The working directory
should be the installation folder for RMIR but it seems as if it is actually using the folder holding the file that you are opening.
If the problem is reproducible, could you please post the rmaster.err file from a session in which it has occurred? The clue is probably in those entries "Adding to classpath ...", but I would prefer to see the whole error file in case there are clues elsewhere.
BTW Thanks for pointing out the typo. I will correct it

). In the RMIR menus, open Options/Advanced and check the item "Use non-modal Device Editor". You should then have the behaviour you want.
