I'm afraid not. All my tests indicate you can only feed absolute paths
(I.E. "c:\\my_directory\\another_directory\\test.jsb") to "use". The
user and shared settings directories are the only things searched by
default. I suppose you could create a filter in your language of choice
that expands environment variables and some relative paths
(".\\test\\test.jsb" etc.) and then run your JSS files through that; but
I no of no way to get these things interpolated by the JAWS script
compiler. If there is a way, though, I would definitely be interested.
