Message:

Additional functionality added to GLIUserFolder. Under Windows, but default
the User's home is within "Documents and Settings/..." (usually on C: drive).
In a networked lab this means a user accessing GLI applet on a different
day on a different machine won't have the collections they built previously.
New functionality makes it possible to override where on the filesystem,
the GLIUserFolder is placed.
