   Caveats:   
      
   I don't know why it works.   
   I don't know what it does (very much).   
   I make no guarantees that it will work.   
      
   I recommend that you backup your current GoldEd configuration file first!    
   Also, read through the list of referenced .CHS files that should be in your   
   own "xlatpath", and remark-out those entries for files that are _not_ there.   
      
   I do hope it might work for you... and Flavio.  Enjoy!   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
