Hmm, I do not see need in this!

You now think about VSERVER, but the same should work for e.g. V4RB LOCAL
app. So we exactly cannot use absolute path here Bart.

V4RB app know self where is vcomponents folder, so it is able locate
VRecources folder. And inside of it find folder with name "Language".

What problems you see here ?

Aha, I see your point of view.

Now question is 

    1) what task is MAJOR for you and how much urgent?

    2) what way you prefer... Absolute path to what?
        folder with 2 our XML files?

    3) or you need yet THIRD XML file?

Ivan have try today add codes to our XML files, as you can do, and says this
works. Only issue with this way -- you need correct this file after each
install.
