[Gate-users] Materials.xml problem...

[Rony A.]

Dear Simon and MJ,

you just gave me great keys to solve my problem(s),
I've found the GATEHOME Materials.xml, but unfortunately it was not possible
to edit it.
So I made further investigations and figured out that the command in the
gate_starter file was set to take the GATEHOME xml file as default... so I
changed it to my directory and it worked more than fine!!

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

Best regards,
Rony
