Well, the plot thickens. I didn't do anything special--just used "show
package contents" in Finder to help move around the directory, but
Terminal always recognizes a directory as a directory.

As for characters in pathnames, I don't think periods are supposed to
be a problem. Other characters, yes--blank spaces are a typical
problem--but that's usually solved by putting a backslash before the
problematic character.

At any rate, the preference pane continues to show up as such both in
Finder and in System Preferences. And--this is a kicker--the "Stop
Server" button works, even though its buddy "Start Server" doesn't.

If you've got all your latest upgrades and things are working fine, let
me know.

Cheers,

Ariel
