[PD] PD Launcher/External Manager

[Michael McGonagle]

Ben,

This sounds like what you are driving at here is a way to organize 
various different .pdrc files. I was just looking at the commandline 
options, and it seems that there is no way to load a different file 
(that would be read instead of the default .pdrc). Is this correct? Are 
.pdrc files a "standard" across all platforms?

Mike
