Hi Chris & Ric,

Thanks for explaining about the shallow search.  I went back to using upper
case too.  So, I went one level up in the path, and now *jqt *is working
now as you'd expect it to.

e.g. from *C:/dev/projectA/* to *c:/dev/*

Does it make sense to enable pointing directly at a project root with a
user folder too?  i.e. search root as well as sub-folders for .jproj files.
