Re: *lispworks-directory*

To answer my second question, the following functions are exactly what 
I'm looking for:
  (sys::lispworks-patch-dir)
  (sys::lispworks-examples-dir)
  (sys::lispworks-config-dir)
etc.

But there is still the matter of the discrepancy in the documentation. 
And a reference to the above mentioned functions would go well in the 
"see also" section of that page.
