So you have /home/pmcnett/dabo/dabo right?

That bothers me.  so does dabo/dabo/dabo, which is what I had for a while, then 
I switched to dabo/trunk/dabo/dabo, which I don't like either.

-> /home/pmcnett/dabo
-> /home/pmcnett/daboide
-> /home/pmcnett/ss

I think you are going to find your home to become cluttered.  Even if works for 
you, I don't feel good recommending it.

So we should just replace the docs with "you figure it out." ?   :)

The day that someone installs Dabo is not the day they should be figuring this 
kind of thing out.  Good chance they are overwhelmed with things to figure out, 
and having a suggested path to follow really helps.  Even for seasoned python 
programmers, the concept of some abstract classes may be new (I bet most are 
use 
to working with modules) and a seperate dir of tools (like ide) may also be 
new. 
  It certainly isn't the normal set of things you get with anything I have seen.

But thanks for your vote, and the explanations.
