Hi Mesar,
I am not sure what is wanted. There is a variable called tablePath which
holds the location of the last table found. However, it is only set
after a call to lou_getTable. This function is automatically called by
the translate and back-translate functions. It searches first on the
paths defined in the environment variable LOUIS_TABLEPATH then in the
current direbtory and its subdirectories, then on the program-settable
data path, if it has been set, then on the installed path. An additional
function lou_getTablePath can be added to the API, but what should it
get?
