---++How can I tell [incr tsdb()] to start with the directories for "home" and "skeletons" that I want each time?

Create a file called =.tsdbrc= in your home directory. (Your general home directory, not your tsdb home directory.) In that file, put the following two lines:

=(setf tsdb::*tsdb-home* "< tsdb home directory >")= <br>
=(setf tsdb::*tsdb-skeleton-directory*  "< skeleton directory >")=

... with the desired directories filled in. =.tsdbrc= is read whenever you start up the fine system.

Note that if =*tsdb-skeleton-directory*= is not set to a legitimate skeletons directory (with =Index.lisp= and =Relations=) the fine system gets unhappy, and can experience mysterious errors.
