Humm, it could have been 10 days instead of two weeks, I guess,
but it was longer than it should have been. :-)

I agree that projects might be intimately involved in the
difficulties here. I think the real problem is that it
is impossible to reconcile both a project approach and
a PATH approach to resolving program names. If you had
(strictly) one or the other life would be easier to
understand. The hodgepodge we have now in the IDLDE
is difficult and getting worse, not better. (In the
version I've been using lately I can't even tell which
directory I am saving files into!! Directories seem to
change underneath me!)

Cheers,

David
