Yah, that did it. Ta very much.

No argument with the logic, just the documentation; I'll update the
swiki page with your original email doc and perhaps you can update the
package registration to point to http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3208
for future reference.

So it does. Good idea but non-inutitive so I'll just fix it in pubs.

Almost does what I'd like. That would build a tree of
{default}/updates/{package}, which is not an awful idea but I propose
that {downloaddir}/{package}/updates would be better since it would keep
related files together. At the moment I don't see an obvious way for the
download directory to be found from the SMCard kept by the update
manager though.
