Just an FYI.
I didn't know this, but apparently one can specify environment variables
in Microsoft Window's file browsers?
For example, if you have the environment variable called SHOW
that is set to an existing path like \\server\jobs\honda, you
can type at the Filename: prompt:
%SHOW%\
...and see a directory listing of \\server\jobs\honda.
Since eg. Maya uses Microsoft's native file browsers, this means
companies can come up with shortcut ways for users to access
long pathnames easily, saving a bit of typing and manual surfing.
Similarly, under Linux, with konqueror you can use $SHOW in the
filename bar.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Mac's file browsers work similarly.
Pretty interesting, though.
