That's actually what I was about to suggest. Pan's actually pretty good at following symlinks. I know because I have several of them setup for various things. (Among other reasons, I actually use the fact that setting PAN_HOME allows one to place the pan config and cache where one wishes, to setup multiple pan instances, each with a different config/cache. However, for some files I want the same one used for all, and I setup symlinks in each config dir pointing at the same global file to make that happen. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
