Description of problem: Command line options for renaming/relocating data directories and files should be removed as general options. These options aren't useful, and can cause confusion. These options include --data, --config, --plan, --results. Other changes in HTS's commands will allow management of multiple results sets, so these options won't be needed for this purpose.
Created attachment 320504 [details] new environment.py for the Environment class This patch adds a new class Environment to the HTS library. This class provides access to the locations and nameing of important directories and files. These attributes are stored in an XML file /etc/hts.xml
Created attachment 320505 [details] Example /etc/hts.xml file
