--Data directories--
The data files that come with Magic Set Editor are stored in [[file:package]]s in the ''data directory'',
these are usually subdirectories of that directory.

There are two data directories, a ''global'' one with data files installed with the program,
and a ''local'' data directory for the current logged in user.
The latter is used for installing packages if the user doesn't have administrator priviliges.
