I did it by not setting a path for the files in the dictionary then putting
the following code on the main form before opening the files.

    g_path = GETINI('global','datapath','','some_ini_file.ini')
    setpath(clip(g_path))
then if the path changes you only have to update the INI not recompile the
prog.
