Don,

Sounds good, except don't you mean "copy the *contents* of the new Euphoria
folder...", rather than "Copy new Euphoria folder into the fuphoria folder."?

If you *drag* copy new Euphoria folder into Fuphoria folder, you get a folder
of new Euphoria *inside* Fuphoria, so EUINC won't find the *new* includes, etc,
after last rename of Fuphoria back to Euphoria, right?
