    Locate the HOME directory, usually C:\SPB_Data set during installation, in there will be a "pcbenv" directory once PCB Editor has been run. In that directory, create a text file called allegro.ilinit, contents as follows:

    ; Setting the LoadDebug variable will turn

    ; on printing the name of each file as it is loaded.

    ; set the full path to the SKILL directory between the quotes in the following variable

    ; NOTE: the direction of the slash characters, these are the required delimiters!

    UserSkillPath="C:/Work/ConfigureLocalSkillLocation/master"

    ; set the LoadDebug to "t" (no quotes) to enable loading messages

    LoadDebug=nil

    if( LoadDebug==t then printf("\n"))

    (foreach file (rexMatchList "\\.il$" (getDirFiles UserSkillPath))

    if( LoadDebug==t then printf("Loading Skill file: %s\n" file))

    (load strcat(UserSkillPath "/" file))

    )

    ; Load any ini files (containing axlCmdRegister)

    (foreach file (rexMatchList "\\.ini$" (getDirFiles UserSkillPath))

    if( LoadDebug==t then printf("Loading Skill file: %s\n" file))

    (load strcat(UserSkillPath "/" file))

    )

    if( LoadDebug==t then printf("\n"))

    Edit the "UserSkillPath" to specify where your SKILL, IL, files are stored, avoid spaces in the directory names. Set the LoadDebug to "t" to get a list of teh IL files while they load, if required, Start PCB Editor and the IL files will be loaded.
