    13 installation and working environment. Customization is mostly done on  
    14 a per-user basis by editing files on the Logtalk user folder (whose  
    15 path is stored on the LOGTALKUSER environment variable; the folder itself  
    16 can be created by running the "cplgtdirs" shell command).

    2121In Logtalk, a library is simply a directory containing source files. Library  
    2222paths can be declared using a dynamic predicate. This allows compiling and  
    23 loading of libraries and library files to be performed without worries about  
    24 library paths.
