Mozilla will try to use the SET MOZILLA_HOME environmental location 
first, and then fall back to the program directories (latest OS/2 
versions will first fall back to whatever is in SET HOME). I'd recommend 
using SET MOZILLA_HOME as having the profile in the program directory 
makes updating hard and will also make migrating to SM v2+ hard.

I've always used /H /O /T /S /E /R /V and don't use *.* but rather * so 
the wildcard gets files without a dot or extension
