If I understood you well, i.e. that even nowbody could change the global 
pages in the $WikiDir-wiki, right ? (or it could be changed, but changed 
would not be used) That's even better !

oh yes, I didn't thought about that.

ok, then I'm setting it in config.php, I think that's the easiest way.
Thanks !


Would this be ok for using it in pmwiki2 :

$WikiLibDirs = array($WikiDir,new 
PageStore('somewhare/wiki.d/$PageName'),new 
PageStore('$FarmD/wikilib.d/$PageName'));

?
(sorry, i didn't explore that new version too much, still working on the 
installation of pmwiki2 and customization of my old stuff)
