That's where I started from - it's just that I couldn't use it directly because of my paths, and I kept pasting my fullpaths over the existing ones. And, of coures, I didn't see I was using the wrong one all the time. Took me a dozen trips to the kids' room to try on their boxes, to no avail. At least I recognized I had some blind spot here and eventually came to UT to ask.
