Ouch, it looks like this old dog must now learn some new tricks. I admit 
that the previous method was simpler for me. Some questions: If I want 
everything loaded into CM (Fomus, PM, CMN, CLM, the works), do I need to 
issue a use-system for each one ? Also, what if I don't want to place 
all my Lisp components into one directory ? Will that adversely affect 
how I build/start/use CM ?

Will I need to call use-system if I want to use the CMIO panel or can I 
still conveniently invoke the component programs from the panel ?

Btw, happy holidays to Rick and all cmdist users and developers !

Best,
