Paths in the Workbench

Folks,

Has anyone been able to make heads or tails out of how paths
are managed in the IDL Workbench!? This friggin' thing is
driving me CRAZY! I have basically no confidence anymore
that I know what files I'm working with, unless I work
with one project at a time. As a productivity enhancer
(at least on operating systems I know how to use),
I'd give this Workbench is a D-.

Cheers,

David
