       double click  left mouse  button, to  single  click left  mouse
       button while holding down the ALT key.
       Modified  the SHEZCFG program  do recognize  and automactically
       convert old external configuation file.

       Added item to SHEZCFG  program to allow users to  tell SHEZ the
       number of unique paths to handle inside compressed files.

       When converting from one  compressed file type to another  SHEZ

       1)  The  nested  compressed  file  MUST  NOT  HAVE A  DIRECTORY
       associated with it.
       2) Self extracting compressed files are not converted.
       3) Only one level of nesting is handled.
       4)  The nested  compressed  file  must  be of  a  type  that  a
       compression program was specified for in the SHEZCFG setup.  If
       a nested  compressed file is an  LHA file and the  user did not
