No. Re-read my previous posts on how to change the current locale via
altering the values of two system features. The current locale is
typically the same as the system locale, but it can be altered via
FtrSet calls.

Wrong. The frCA overlays will only get auto-loaded if the current
locale is also frCA, and the current locale has nothing to do with
the contents of the either the application PRC or the overlay PRC.
But as Kevin noted in his email, Ted could just open up the overlay
himself.
