 ** '''Extensions''' - Extensions, as the name implies, extend the feature set of Inner Space and its components.  This can be adding new user interface features, new commands or automation objects, and so on.  Many extensions are game-specific and add the ability to interact directly with the game.
 ** '''Input Emulation''' - Input emulation allows Inner Space to reproduce keyboard and mouse events, such as pressing a key, typing, moving the mouse or clicking mouse buttons.
-** '''Memory Modification''' - A memory modification service allows Inner Space and extensions to easily and safely modify the memory of the host process.  An extension can also provide a memory protection service, which protects memory modifications from any detection by the host.
+** '''Memory Modification''' - A memory modification service allows Inner Space and extensions to easily and safely modify the memory of the host process.  Alone, this service is the equivalent to Read/WriteProcessMemory; however, an extension can provide its own memory protection service, which protects memory modifications from any detection by the host.
 ** '''[[LavishNav|Navigation]]''' - A general navigation system is built into Inner Space for easy adaptation in automating games.
 ** '''Services''' - Services provide safe one- or two-way communication between Inner Space and extensions, as well as between extensions.   They are also used to implement asynchronous operations, such as retrieving web pages.

 == Operation ==
 FileRedirect works by performing a simple text replacement of the path+filename the application is attempting to open, with your provided snippet. You may replace all or part of the path. Slashes should be forward slashes ("/"), and will be normalized prior to replacement.  Matching is case-insensitive.
+FileRedirect is safe to use during PreStartup or Startup, but generally makes the most sense during PreStartup.
 == Syntax ==

 ===Redirect across drives ===
-Assuming the application is opening files under C:/temp/foo, and we want to move it to a different drive
+Assuming the application is opening files under C:/temp/foo, '''and is accessing the file via its absolute path''', and we want to move it to a different drive
 *FileRedirect "C:/temp/foo/" "D:/temp/foo/"

 *FileRedirect -list - lists all redirected files
  -------------------------
  'bob.dat' => 'tim.dat'
 ===Redirect from one file to another===
 *FileRedirect User.Dat User-John.dat
 ;Output
  File 'User.Dat' redirected to 'User-John.dat'
+===Redirect all directory access ===
+Assuming the application is opening files under C:/users/username/AppData/Local/PRODUCER\GAME/d_program files_producer_game/, and we want to append some value to this
+*FileRedirect "AppData/Local/PRODUCER/GAME/d_program files_producer_game/" "AppData/Local/PRODUCER/GAME/d_program files_producer_game_${CharName}"
+;Output (assuming ${CharName} is "foo"
+ File 'AppData/Local/PRODUCER/GAME/d_program files_producer_game/' redirected to 'AppData/Local/PRODUCER/GAME/d_program files_producer_game_foo'

+*FileRedirect "C:/temp/foo/" "D:/temp/foo/"
 ===Remove a FileRedirect===
 *FileRedirect -remove User.Dat
