Genu-Ine IDE issue

[Shari]

If it works in the latest Rev 2.7 IDE, but does not work in the 
latest MC 2.7 IDE, on the same Macintel Tiger platform, same 
computer, same file, etc., then I would call it an IDE bug.

If it works in an old version of MC, but breaks in the new versions 
of MC and Rev, on the SAME brand new computer and Macintel Tiger 
platform, then I would again call it a bug.  I can launch MC 2.4.3 on 
my new Macintel, and it behaves by finding the file regardless of the 
change of name.  But it fails with the newest versions of Rev/MC on 
the same computer and platform.  Therefore, it is not Tiger related, 
or computer related.  Else it would not work in MC 2.4.3 on this same 
computer.

As all of my programs except 2 small ones from the old computer 
appear to work okey dokey on the new computer, I have not needed to 
use the old computer for anything but playing games for fun :-)

I have MC 2.4.3 installed on the new computer, as well as Rev/MC 2.7. 
I have been working in MC 2.7 on the new project.  No desire to 
re-tackle existing projects in MC/Rev at this moment.  I'm supposed 
to be working on the new one right now anyway :-)

By the way... I've made a small bit of progress with the CGI issue. 
I haven't had time to get Rev/MC to work as CGI yet, but I may have 
found the reason why.  I discovered that my FTP program, while 
appearing to change the permissions, apparently does not.  I 
installed a different CGI thing, and discovered that I had to log 
into my web account online to properly change the permissions. 
Sooo... when I have a chance, I can revisit the Rev/MC CGI project I 
was working on.  Maybe now I can get it to work :-)

I am happily looking forward to seeing HELLO appear :-)
