	Beneath the directory where you installed HL is a directory named "data". If you installed HL to the default location, this directory will be located at "C:\HeroLab\data". All HL data files reside in sub-directories beneath the "data" directory, with all of the data files for each game system being grouped together within a sub-directory named appropriately for that game system. For example, all of the data files for the d20 System will be found in the "d20" sub-directory, or "C:\HeroLab\data\d20" if you installed HL to the default location.
