Setting of environment variables

Hi I am new to this and might have a stupid question for some of you. We currently use Microfocus Cobol but mainly use the editor and compile options, and are exploring other possibilities. My problem is this, if I try open include file nothing happens, I have set environment variable AlsoSearchInclude variable in settings/system/environment tab for both user and system (Not sure if this is the right place) Our copybooks also have a .COB extension witch is not included in the Copy instruction. Can anybody please put me on the right track?
Regards

Hi, just want to add, I also changed the Search Path in the Document type to f:\fdp550 (Where our copybooks lies) and get "No file was found in the current line" my copy statement looks as follows COPY CL1CMBRD.

Regards

I have created the Understanding View Open Include entry to explaain a little of how this Zeus feature works.

Our copybooks also have a .COB extension witch is not included in the Copy instruction. Can anybody please put me on the right track?

If you find this feature is still not working for your copybooks, please post a small snippet of you cobol code, containing the line of text that contains the copybook and also some information as to the directory structure of your files.
