Thanks for that. I had played with this file, but it means that other
users on the system would share the same workspace, and when I upgrade
Eclipse, I have to do this again. I guess in the meantime this will
have to do.
For once I am envious of Windows users, where they can set the target
of a shortcut. Told you I was having a bad day :-)
Thanks again - you are a star for developing WOLips for the rest of us.
