Michel,

Oh, I wouldn't dream of replacing 'INSTANCE_HOME' on line 270 in 
lib/python/AccessControl/User.py with my path to 'access'. Actually, more 
elegantly, where exactly wouldn't I dream of changing the acquisition of 
PATHs from pcgi (or the Zope.cgi file). Say, if I were careful not to add 
a new variable to the Zope.cgi file containing the path to 'access', 
where would I avoid telling Zope to use that new variable.

(Actually, a coupla whacks to my head and a 'dig for it, peon' would 
probably be the answer I deserve.)

And thanks,

Chris
