Hello,

usually I don't write to myself, but:

E-UAE insists of *overwriting* my manual replacement of the $(FILEPATH) on 
the next save of the config file.

The only work-around I can now see is to place the Amiga volume 
directories outside the home directory or fool E-UAE that there are 
placed outside of it by using symlinks. Quite a bit to trickery for my 
article's audience I believe.
