OK. Thanks, Jure and Steven. I was, for a mad minute, under the 
impression that the idapi32.cg file WAS the net file. But I guess that 
honor belongs to PDOXUSRS.NET. So, the pdoxusrs.net file has to be in 
the NET directory but the idapi32.cfg files can be on the local drive, 
pointing to the same NET file?
