I'm using Nethack on two PCs, both running with windows. My goal is that both share the same directories for savegames, bones and record file, maybe the logfile as well. The PCs are not connected via LAN, and one of them is a notebook. Therefore I had the idea to store these files on dropbox, so they are synchronized.

I edited my defaults.nh as follows:

SAVEDIR=C:\Dropbox\Nethack\save BONESDIR=C:\Dropbox\Nethack\save

But how can I accopmplish that the record file is stored somewhere in the dropbox directory? The only way I see is to set HACKDIR to some path in my dropbox folder, but then I have to move more files, because HACKDIR is the default location for everything. Especially, I don't want to share the file defaults.nh, because it's different on both PCs, because they have different screen resolutions and so I use different font sizes.

Any suggestions?
