WordQ Mac has already implemented a similar solution as PC does. Here is the instruction how to use it:
1. Login as administrator
2. In Finder, navigate to “/Library/Preferences/”, and check if there is a file named “com.wordq.application.plist” existing. If the file exists, open it with Property List Editor; if the file does not exit, create it by using Property List Editor. (Property List Editor is a free utility that is distributed within Apple’s Xcode development tool, which can be downloaded from http://developer.apple.com).
3. Under the “Root” dictionary, add a new child (if it doesn't exist) called “Vocab_Path”, set its type to “String”, and set its value to the desirable path (e.g.: /Volumes/Student/WordQ).
4. Save and quit Property List Editor.
5. (Re)start WordQ, it should try to use the new path for storing vocabularies.
By the way, if the Property List Editor is not easily available and the file “com.wordq.application.plist” does NOT exist, it can be created by using any text editing application such as TextEdit. Just copy/paste the following contents and save as “/Library/Preferences/com.wordq.application.plist” (without “.txt” file extension).
---------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Vocab_Path</key>
<string> /Volumes/Student/WordQ</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Note that if the file “com.wordq.application.plist” already exists in binary format, only Property List Editor can modify it.
Once the file “com.wordq.application.plist” is working on one Mac, it can be copied onto any number of other Macs with the same network configuration.
