[Cuis-dev] Cuis directories

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Hilaire,

#userBaseDirectory is set in the #userBaseDirectory method. It defaults 
to the current directory in the OS shell that starts Cuis, but if it 
happens to be the same as #cuisBaseDirectory, then it is set as a 
sibling of it. When I did this, I just tried it to be comfortable for 
Cuis devs by default (their changes and stuff are created close enough 
to the Cuis they are running so they are easy to find), and flexible to 
app builders.

This is consistent with what you see.

HTH,
