In fact as long as you don't have ~/.Inline/ defined, Inline will create a new ./_Inline directory

That behaviour should *not* occur if DIRECTORY is specified. (And the documentation will be modified to make that clear.)

If you've specified a DIRECTORY in the script and the _Inline directory is still being created then either you didn't specify DIRECTORY correctly, or there's a bug - and a simple script that demos the bug would be helpful.
