  37 <code>CHESSDIR</code> environment variable. If this variable is not set, the
  38 current working directory is used. If <code>CHESSDIR</code> is set,
  39 XBoard actually changes its working directory to
  40 <code>$CHESSDIR</code>, so any files written by the chess engine
  41 will be placed there too.
