Moving Pan's (the newsreader) profile folder to another location

Having decided to have separate drives/partitions for different
tasks/files (duh! not a seperate partition for each and every file
type!), I searched for a way to do that with my newsreader: Pan. Great
little software (thanks Charles). Following is how I managed to achieve
this quest!

1. Move the .pan2 folder to the new location.
2. Set the PAN_HOME environment variable to point to the new location.
Steps on how to do this are given below.
3. Edit the servers.xml file in the .pan2 directory so that the
<newsrc>D:\Net Profiles\Pan\.pan2\newsrc-1</newsrc> points to the new
location rather than the old one.

*Setting the PAN_HOME environment variable (Under M$ Windows):
1. Right click on my computer
2. Go to Properties
3. Go to "Advanced System Settings" tab
4. Click on Environment Variables at the bottom
5. Click on New under System Variables and *Add PAN_HOME* for the Variable name and x:\new\location\for\.pan2 for Variable value.
6. OK and OK and OK

What distinguishes Antakya’s künefe from others is the daily made fresh, elastic cheese that is only made in Hatay region. The kadayıf (shredded phyllo dough) is also made from scratch at small künefe shops in almost every corner in Antakya which I find very entertaining to watch. The künefe shops in Antakya serve the künefe topped with cream or ice cream. Every time I visit home, I go to Antakya which is about two hours from my hometown and have künefe with ice cream. One of my favorite p...
