I finally had time to test the second half of this. Putting the "Problem"
Identity in the Shared folder didn't work, as I couldn't find a way to
navigate out of the Documents folder under Switch Identity -- it only
presents choices of Identities that already exist in the MUD folder, it
seems -- so I copied it all the way into the New User's MUD folder, launched
Entourage, changed Identities to the Problem Identity -- and it worked, I
had all the hs I wanted.

So... "Problem Identity" works in a different User on this Mac, and works on
a different computer, but not renamed as a "New" Identity in this User. It
seems as though Shift h should be broken in all other apps in this User, but
it's not -- not even in other Office apps. ow strange.

Entourage 2004, Dual 2.0Ghz G5, Mac OS X 10.3.9, 2.5GB RAM. I didn't have
free time over the holiday to run the scripts to export and import. Very
busy with work at the moment and from what's been said, I'll need both time
and patience to successfully accomplish an export and subsequent import.
