Wonderful news! It's more easy searching in e.exe than in TEDIT.EXE AND 
She could open an user.js (for the new profile) and just copy&paste the 
relevant statement into this file. Then open it with TEDIT.EXE to check 
that there is no cr-lf chars at the end of the statements, then save 
eventual changes and exit. The rest of the profile data will go into the 
regular prefs.js Then creating a mozila.org on the R: partitionm, open 
the old pforile with -Profilemanager and open a windowed OS2 session and 
invoke -Profilemanager and tick off the relevant settings in it. When 
that's done, migrate the adress book and mail&newsgroups to the new 
profile. Then use a small .cmd file to invocate SMPMW1118 beginning with 
the 'setlocal' statement and then 'SET MOZILLA_HOME=R:\MOZILLA.ORG", the 
rest will be "vanilla statements like the one in the seamonkeymail.cmd 
which She uses to invoke the mailer.
