Mike -- Sounds like you figured out a safe way to do it. If you ever want to do VistA development, my wiki post on the recommended way to configure development environments (http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php?title=Software_Development_%28WG1%29_Version_Control_%28T3%29) may be useful. Also, for some background theory of operation, take a look at the exercises on setting up development environments in the GT.M Acculturation live CD (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm).
Regards -- Bhaskar P.S. I did see a most amazing sight while camping - a stag beetle attacking a frog perhaps 30 times its weight. It had its jaws locked on the frog's left arm and its legs dug into different parts of the frog's body. The frog was desperately trying to dislodge it. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't wager any money on the frog...
