Ok, will do.

The only lines I see in xastir.cnf that refer to directories are these:

AUTO_MAP_DIR:/usr/share/xastir/maps
ALERT_MAP_DIR:/usr/share/xastir/Counties
SELECTED_MAP_DIR:/usr/share/xastir/maps
SELECTED_MAP_DATA:config/selected_maps.sys
MAP_INDEX_DATA:config/map_index.sys
SYMBOLS_DIR:/usr/share/xastir/symbols
SOUND_DIR:/usr/share/xastir/sounds
GROUP_DATA_FILE:config/groups
GNIS_FILE:/usr/share/xastir/GNIS/WA.gnis
GEOCODE_FILE:/usr/share/xastir/GNIS/geocode

If that is all the editing I have to do, it is fairly painless, or am I 
missing something?
