Contains the home directory of the currently running instance of dBASE Plus.

Description

There are two "home" directories:

The directory where dBASE Plus is installed, by default:

C:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus\

The directory where the actual executable file, PLUS.exe is installed. This is in the \Bin subdirectory of the installation directory, so by default, it’s:

C:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus\Bin\

_dbwinhome contains the installation home directory, from which you can access all subdirectories. _dbwinhome contains the full path name whether SET FULLPATH is ON or OFF, and always includes the trailing backslash, as shown.

_dbwinhome is read-only.

To identify where the currently running instance of PLUS.exe is located, use HOME( ).
