  26. I *never* edit pmdf_startup.com.  I create a second command file called
  27. pmdf_startup_local.com that contains any local customizations (including
  28. setting the organization and timezone).  At startup it is executed right
  29. after pmdf_startup.com.  I switched to this scheme after I continued to
  30. forget to deal with this issue at the end of an upgrade.
