I was looking in the wrong J7 User directory.  I must get rid of my old J7 Beta 
stuff.  The projects are in my User (and Project) directory.

Here are my screen shots:

Here are my GTK folders:

NB. folders.cfg
NB.
NB. each non-empty line is a pair: name path, e.g.
NB. Van /home/guest/van/source
NB.
NB. name begins with lowercase - added to SystemFolders_j_
NB. name begins with uppercase - defines UserFolders_j_

Demos ~addons/demos
Projects ~user/projects
User ~user
        
    jpath'~user/projects'
c:/users/me/j64-701-user/projects
    jpath'~user'
c:/users/me/j64-701-user

I did create:

C:\Users\me\j64-701-user\projects\trunk with the full SVN content during the 
beta to see if that would get anything useful to show up in the project->open 
dialog.  That is where all the projects came from.

It seems slightly perverse to have the User project entries give exactly the 
same list as the Project project entries, with an additional directory name of 
project added.  But, perhaps that is inevitable since I would be unlikely to 
have project files in any of the sub-directories of User other than projects.

So, it looks as if I will need to manually create a .jproj file in a specific 
directory to be able to have that specific directory show up as the default 
Edit 
window directory?
