By the way, it seems that, after your first PLaneT package is installed, 
DrScheme starts sending you to the documentation in your "~/.planet" 
directory, rather than to the one in the DrScheme install tree.

For example, initially DrScheme's "Help Desk" menu item sends me to:

    file:///usr/local/plt-4.2.1/share/plt/doc/index.html

But later to:

    file:///home/neil/.plt-scheme/4.2.1/doc/index.html

If I bookmarked the first one in my Web browser, and thereafter use my 
bookmark rather than DrScheme to get to the PLT documentation, I'll 
never see the documentation for installed PLaneT packages.
