Good point. I forgot to mention that caveat. Also, in a previous
message, I made some remark about users who don't have voice profiles
don't need to bother with the settings directory. This is utter
rubbish: I was wrong. If you want your voice settings to be copied it
is necesssary to take everything starting at the settings directory.
So, as I seem to be making a complete hash of things tonight I'll bail
out now before making an even bigger fool of myself.
Cherio.
