Peter,

Your suggestion is the solution I am looking for. Basically
I want to use an enviroment variables to set-up
the VM execution so that I can do the following:

SET %idb_path%=/my/dir
java -Didb.path.tables=%idb_path%/tables -Didb.path.tmp=%idb_path%/tmp ...

and then have entries in the .prp file:

tablePath=$idb.path.tables
tmpPath=$idb.path.tmp

Thanx.
Hugo.
