STATA_PREF_DIR is currently an undocumented feature that will be
published in a future update of Getting Started with Stata for Unix.

xstata for Linux checks for the environment variable STATA_PREF_DIR at
launch for user preferences. If STATA_PREF_DIR is not set, it falls
back to the DISPLAY environment variable, which as Dave noted, is
login dependent. Simply defining that variable should solve the
multiple preference issue.
Ah, splendid: exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Pete...
Incidentally, where is this documented? Did I miss it in the manuals?
Dave.
