Assuming that the r:\mozilla.org dir is created, so the first thing to 
do is starting SM in the normal way and open the Preferences notebook. 
Then open a windowed OS2 session and launching the Profile Manager from 
there, in this way the old Preferences and new Preferences will share 
the same screen, then systematically go through the setings in the old 
profile and and set them in the new profile, then closing down the old 
and new Settings notebooks. Next would be to open tha Mail & Newsgroups 
notebook in the old and new profile and setting up the relevant info, 
then closing down both notebooks. Now comes the 64k$ question: Must the 
system be rebooted for the new profile to take effect or can SM be 
started with the new Brekke profile directly?
