OK:
1. edit: OpenCmd = "Edit.Open"; => OpenCmd = "ET.Open";
2. Store existing TextFrames.Obj => TextFrames.Obj4ET [just in case]
3. select [SrcModls:]TextFrames.Mod start & Compiler.Compile @
4. re-boot.
It looks OK.
Perhaps ET is 'better' then Edit.
Does anybody use PET - which is not part of standard installation ?

As previously noted: making backups, which hopefully can be used
in case of a mishap, is inferior to: making new copies whch are then
used, whereas the previous copies were being tested/confirmed
up until their last usage.
Because of 'rounding errors, for differnt CHS geometry', I'm guessing
that Partitions.UpdateBootFile & Partitions.PartitionToFile, would
have problems for moving a partiton to another IDE, both nominally
of the same size. I don't want to test it now !
Therefore every time a copy is made, it should be to a bigger
destination. Which is OK because partitons grow with time.
Except, it is likely that most of the partitions have already been
created - committing the sizes.
One problem with copying the files [rather tedious] is that the
'date stamp' is overwritten, which loses the nice SmartDir.Directory
[search by age] facility.
