Huummm... Hello again,

Forgot something again. :/

So one last question (let's hope).

Arcan load 'appl's which are basically applications written in Lua.
They don't need to be built, just copied to be used as is, so they don't
produce binaries. To start an appl with arcan, you need to 
'arcan $(path-to-appl)'.
Whit Guix paths, it becomes quite complicated to load an appl.
Fortunatly, Arcan allows us to specify an ENV variable with a folder
containing the appls. Knowing that there can be multiple appls, how can
we make them all availabe in the same folder the be able to do:
'arcan $(appl-name)' which would be a lot nicer.

Thanks again,

Lprndn
