Some applications do not support relative path arguments or values in their setting files. Having absolute paths there
makes it less fit for storing their configuration in the version control. To work around this issue the script defines
environment variable DOTFILES with an absolute path to the Apps directory. When troubleshooting always make sure
this variable is set, using wd EnumEnvVars command.
