Seems to be VersaMail related - possibly data, maybe prefs.  We'll see 
what dbFixit says, when I have mail files going again.

Hrm.  If you could do a pScript to install it from a card and delete it, 
it might be managable - certainly not elegant!

Thanks - I inadvertently did a warm reset at one point, and it was quite

able to selectively turn on extensions, but at least I have a few more 
tools in the toolbox.

Thanks - NVBackup seems much more convenient than desktop stuff, much of 
the time anyway.
