Huh?  The intent was to provide template scripts which users could tailor to
their own needs without having to modify model code.  There is no requirement
that whatever one comes up with must use aspects of a model-generated mswrite
command that "use a directory structure that may not be compatible with other
computer systems."  For example, I've appended an example mswrite which just
copies the file to a /data/ directory.

See above (and below).  But if you still want to modify model code I'd
encourage you to bring your suggestion to the attention of those working on
such things.

Example mswrite that copies the file to a /data/ directory:

#!/bin/csh -f

while ( $#argv )
switch ( $1 )
  case -t:
    shift argv
    shift argv
    breaksw
  case -w:
    shift argv
    shift argv
    breaksw
  default:
    if ( `echo $1 | cut -c 1-1` != '/' ) then
      set file = "$1"
    endif
    shift argv
endsw
end
set cmd = "cp -f $file /data/$user/"
echo "mswrite script is executing the following:"
echo $cmd
$cmd
