thanks steven,

i know about the problems. what i want to know is:

    > technically, you might be able to change the registry entry using the 
opal

i want to change the NET DIR value within an idapi32.cfg file (which is not 
set as the default BDEADMIN configuration file, but is used with the -o path 
on the start line)
eg:
    "...pdxrwn32.exe" -b -pC:\WHATEVER\PRIV -wC:\WHATEVER -oC:\INIT\idapi32.cfg 
C:\WHATEVER\START.FDL

and i need to change the NET DIR within the C:\INIT\idapi32.cfg file to some 
(network) path with opal (or e.g. .NET C#, which then i can execute with 
opal).
