Nebula2 Path Assigns

You may see filesystem paths like "proj:work/gfxlib", or "home:bin/win32" throughout this documentation.
The proj: and home: parts in the paths are so called assigns used by Nebula2 as aliases for absolute directory paths. For instance, the home: path assign stands for the toolkit's installation directory which is usually "C:\Dev\Nebula2", but can be different depending on the language version of Windows, and the user's choice at install time. It is quite obvious that using a simple home: assign is much more convenient then using a long, complicated directory path which can be located anywhere on the user's system.
Nebula2 makes heavy use of filesystem assigns internally, but for toolkit users, only the proj: assign (which points to the Current Project Directory) and the home: assign (which points to the toolkit's installation directory) are relevant.
