      What do you mean?   The /opt/mbse directory is where most everything gets   
   installed, though I hope to do so some testing later on with a more standard   
   layout instead of just using /opt/mbse.  (Isn't likely to get into a standard   
   distribution otherwise...)   
      
      The standard language, menu, template, and txtfiles are copied to the   
   standard mbse directories as part of the installation.  The package doesn't   
   install them there directly to allow for changes by the sysop to the files   
   actually being used by the installed MBSE BBS system, so upgrades will provide   
   the new copies of the file but won't directly affect MBBS.    If that's not   
   happening  properly,  I need to know...
