Re: Perm. apply PTF's thoughts

Good idea Pete, but what I was describing, (among other things) is when 
the boss sticks a ptf save file in his library and not QGPL.  I had 
forgotten about the save files in the product libraries (well, maybe I 
referred to them indirectly with 'ability to remove a ptf').

What you are describing is the save file.  Not the one in QGPL, but the 
one that exists in the product library.
