That would be great!



I often wondered why you included the user_loc file in the updates since it never changed.

Hi Scott,

You wrote:

"...Once you have a [user_loc.txt list of user locations] file made-up,
copy it off somewhere else. When you put a Guide update on, it will replace
your edited file back with an original one.

So after you put on an update, copy your modified file back again."

Um. A good point... there are actually several places where updates from
Guide may replace things that you might not want updated.

I think I can work around this one (for example, Guide and Guide updates
could provide an 'extraloc.txt' file, but not adjust your 'user_loc.txt'
file). When looking up a location, Guide would then search both files.

I'll investigate to see what else gets clobbered that really shouldn't,
and may come up with similar fixes.
