First, will this statement only start the SMPMW118 in Profile Manager or 
does it start the whole mailer? And second, as the new profile will live 
on the r:\mozilla.org\mozilla, a "temporary" SET 
MOZILLA_HOME=R:\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA must be set before the above 
statement, eitherwise the new profile will land on the y: partition and 
the migration of the mail&newsgroups will land therem, too - She wants 
them on the R:\ partition instead. The most acute problem is creating a 
new profile that will store the Adress book and Mail&Newsgroups on the 
r:\partiton. And when we are at this, can the xxxxxxxx.slt be precreatet 
on the r:\mozilla.org\mozilla so that it's name will be "brekkema.slt" 
instead of the random jumble  - much easier to have it named as above 
when creating a backup .cmd that will backup the Sent folder BEFORE the 
mailer comes up in online mode - have as yet no decent backup program 
that can handle more than 2Gib data (Ba/2 Pro can only handle 2Gib data 
on an USB drive or DVD+-RW media, only on tape can it backup more than 
2Gib, and a new DAT74 station have a far too steep price for Her small 
wallet :-(
