Usb 2.0 versions are cheap.

I do not have Warpin in config.sys anywhere, install it and move database file to original location. And create your Mozilla profile; this could have been
done in half an hour a year ago.

The new box have both USB 2.0 and 3.0, but so far no USB 3.0 drivers
have surfaced, ArcaNoae's team are working on them so when they are
released they will probably be licensed for use with ArcaOS, but She
don't give a hoot about that, if they work in ArcaOS, they will probably
work on eCs 1.2 and a hotted up WSeB as well.

She put it wrong here, will not delete g:\os2ut\warpin and it's
associated statements in LIBPATH, DPATH and BOOKSHELF. Just copy out the
database file to another location or simply rename it. But can She
delete the warpin files directly and doing an install or must they be
deinstalled first and THEN installed with the latest Warpin package?

Will certainly do that when She have a whole morning (wakes up about
0600 every morning) and the Home Service arrives at about 1030 to help
with food preparations and suchlike activities.

Btw, what software must She have to listen to and see podcasts? For
purely sound podcast, any good mp3 player like pm123 will function, but
what about podcasts that contains images / moving pics? WarpVision perhaps?

I have created two .cmd files to invoke the ProfileManager, one for the
old profile, the other for the new profile Brekke. First question, can
the Profile Manager be started *without* opening the whole mailer? And
second, how does She migrate all the Helper applications without having
to writing them in physically in the new profile - there's a LOT of
these helper applications listed in the old profile! :-( After all, you
said that the mail and newsgroups could be simply be copied from the old
to the new profile, so may a similar technique exist for dealing with
this, i.e. the helper apps list?

First, She have some glad tidig to you namely She managed to change the
current profile so that this pesky "blocked" messsage disappeared when a
mail contained external info for example pictures.

the current one to the new Brekke profile and what parameter(s)must She
use for doing this. It would be much easier if She could migrate the
profile directly, then go into the new Brekke profile and change things
that needs changing due to the new location for the mail & newsgroups
placement on the r:\mozilla.org\mozilla tree.
