But... to answer your question, yes ;-)

possibly an alternative... i'm trying to automate things for other users... and I have to assume zero computer savvy on their part

hasn't been removed because no one has set the default

>This raises 2 questions for me:
	1. Looks like ENABLE_EXTERNAL_NXVIEWER s/b set automatically when nxviewer can't be found, right? I've set it manually anyway, in both node.conf and/or nxloadconfig, to no avail

	2. Am I right that nxloadconfig defines the "default defaults" and is overriden by node.conf? If so, then I don't need to worry about the setting(s) in nxloadconfig, right?

No. Did it work ??

It's easier to ask me than plough through all that
shell script

I'm sure there was a reason for the code... I'm just wondering where the script is going wrong, since as you said above, I should not be getting to this line...


Oh good. better than flatteneing me
