Are you paraphrasing here?

Anyway, another way to get around this is to add where Improv lives on
your system to the Workspace Appplication Path.  You can do this with
a 'dwrite command'.  The only trick is not leaving out what is already
there.  a command like
dwrite Workspace ApplicationPath /NextApps:/NextDeveloper:/Users/user/Apps:\
/And/so/on/and/so/forth
will write all the proper places to look for an application to start
up an *.extention

Whatever you dwrite WILL write over what is already there, so don't
forget anything.  I messed up the first time, and had to go around
finding all of the places I missed.  Unfortunately, a 'dread -l'
doesn't show what is already there.  Hope this helps.
