Manual states that DBPATH= pathnames for database directories & *.sql files.
for example: DBPATH=/u/abc

My .4gl modules are located in /u/abc/modules.
My .per forms are located in /u/abc/forms

r4gl (Module/Modify or Forms/Modify) will only list my files if I set
DBPATH=/u/abc:/u/abc/modules:/u/abc/forms

Is this "just the way it is"?  Or am I doing something wrong?

Well, if the .4gl files are in /u/abc/modules, then you have to list
/u/abc/modules in DBPATH if you want r4gl to show them.  Similarly for
/u/abc/forms.  And if the database directory (assuming you are using SE not
OnLine) is in /u/abc, then you need to list that in DBPATH to ensure that SE
finds your database.  Hence you need the three entries - and that's just the way
it is.

Put another way, r4gl has no clue that a forms subdirectory is anything special;
ditto for a modules sub-directory.
