Re: st: how to run do files in two computers, one with Windows XP,another with Vista

You can also do this just once per computer rather than per do file which needs 
editing for each machine.  Just set a global basedir in your profile.do and then 
reference that global in your do files.  You can even add in an alternate 
default assignment in the do file if $basedir isn't defined on a machine.
