[Framers] FM 16.0.4 update...

[Scott Prentice]

Lynne...

Some updates have replaced the INI, but I don't recall it happening 
often (maybe I've blocked those memories). I'd switch to the "user" area 
if Adobe provided a "$USERDIR" variable for structured applications. If 
you move the apps into the user area, you have to hard-code the path in 
the application definition .. annoying and error prone. So since I keep 
using $STRUCTDIR in my app definitions, I have to install things in the 
Program Files area, so I keep using the default maker.ini (not a great 
excuse, but that's my thinking).

Thanks for the tip with "back" .. although it seems to not be 
persistent. Guess it's not related to the update install.

Cheers,
...scott
