Well posted. =:^) That's actually the way I have pan setup here, with of
course some individual variance in detail. I have three instances,
pan.bin (binaries), pan.text and pan.test (for browsing around, since pan
keeps some info about groups you've been to even after you delete them,
this way I can easily blow that away without blowing away my regular
subscribed groups).
Each instance is set to a subdir of ~/pan/ (I don't like hidden dirs, so
not .pan), ~/pan/text, ~/pan/bin, etc. For config files that are the
same across all three instances, I have a ~/pan/globals as well, with
symlinks from the individual instance dirs as appropriate. I thus have a
common scorefile and accels.txt keyboard accel mapping.
My starter scripts are pan.bin, pan.text, etc, with a kmenu entry for
each, and a khotkeys entry for those, so I can invoke my main instances
with just a couple keystrokes. (I run pan.test seldom enough that it's
better run from the launcher dialog.)
