The first time you run SAS/IML Studio, a personal files directory called My IML Studio Files is created. By default, the personal files directory corresponds to the Windows directory shown in Table 34.1.

It is recommended that you store the files you create with SAS/IML Studio in subdirectories of the personal files directory. This provides the following advantages:
Each person who logs on to the computer has a unique personal files directory.
The personal files directory keeps your files separate from files distributed with SAS/IML Studio.
If all your SAS/IML Studio files are in subdirectories of the personal files directory, it is easier for you to back up your files.
When you open a file by selecting → → from the main menu, the dialog box contains a button that lets you navigate directly to the personal files directory.
In the personal files directory, SAS/IML Studio creates the following subdirectories:
directory for user-written Java classes
directory for SAS data sets
directory for IMLPlus matrices stored on the client computer
directory for IMLPlus modules
directory for IMLPlus programs
