[gpaw-users] Use setup outside of GPAW_SETUP_PATH directory?

[William Parker]

Thanks for the clarification.  One thing that threw me was the output of "gpaw -h":
    --setups=SETUPS     default=none

While this section also clarified that:
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/gpaw/documentation/manual.html#type-of-setup-to-use

it would be nice to improve the description that comes at the command line.

Is the script way of specifying the path in the documentation somewhere?
