Thanks! How easy is it though? This morning I have started reading
about environment variables, as one of the scripts I tested asked for
the PATH_TRANSLATED to be set properly... I have no idea at the moment
what that means, but I'm working on it. But I have a feeling that after
environment variables, it will be a hundred other things I have to do,
each one taking me many hours of figuring-out, reading, testing, etc.
Is this assumption right, or once I've done the environment variables,
is that more or less it do you think?
