Yes, as with all versions of the IDE to date you would need to fill in 
those fields anyway.

It would appear that old test data was left in when when I last saved. 
While both harmless and needing to be replaced by the user anyway, to 
avoid confusion I just replaced the file on Yahoo with a fresh build 
saved after clearing those field.  I also cleared the data from the 
older standalone builder also in the IDE (in case you want to run it 
with an earlier version of the engine; it does a version check and opens 
the appropriate one for you automatically).

Thanks for the report!

Do you have anything to report on the error issue?  That one's so 
annoying a few of us have gone back to engine v2.5.1 for daily work 
until we can resolve it.
