Question: Add new librairies.

Hi, I'd like to know where's maple directory by default on my computer. I just found a program that would really help which is run on maple. I will join the read me file of the program i want to install.
The unclear part for me is "  (b) Copy the file dot.mapleinit in the Bethe root directory into your
    home directory where it is read in from MAPLE      cp dot.mapleinit ---> [user-home]/.mapleinit"

what is that suppose to mean?

thank you

tonh.

this is the read me file:

i)   Installation of Maple libaries for the BETHE package
---------------------------------------------------------

To install the BETHE package, it is sufficient to make to following two
changes:

(a) Inside of dot.mapleinit in the Bethe root directory, please, replace
    the entrance

    /home/theo/rykhli/Bethe2006/Bethelib  ---> [user-home]/.../Bethe2006/Bethelib

    in the line: libname := convert(`/home/theo/rykhli/Bethe2006/Bethelib`,......

where the path name [user-home]/.../Bethe2006/Bethelib must describe the correct path
to your current installation of the BETHE program. Then, the module
with(Bethe) should be available inside of all Maple sessions,
independently where the session has been startet.

(b) Copy the file dot.mapleinit in the Bethe root directory into your
    home directory where it is read in from MAPLE

     cp dot.mapleinit ---> [user-home]/.mapleinit

Please, note that as seen from above, the name of the file dot.mapleinit
has to be changed to  .mapleinit.
Making use of such  .mapleinit  file, the module Bethe should be available
like any other module of Maple. That is, by using the "with(Bethe)" command
user may load all the procedures and initialize the internal settings
of the BETHE package.


ii) Available documentation
----------------------------

For a quick reference to all procedures at user's level, please, see
the files Bethe-commands.ps and Bethe-examples.ps in the subdirectory ./doc/.
This directory also contains the reprint of
the paper for the BETHE program.



iv)  List of files and subdirectories in the Bethe root directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Inside of the Bethe root directory, the following files and directories
are distributed:

  ./Bethelib
  ./doc
  dot.mapleinit
  Read.me
