[P1] Changing Home Folder name

[Tom R. no spam]

I found the urI I was remembering earlier:
http://homepage.mac.com/frakes/MOSXPT/onlinecontent.html
     and click on the "Changing the Short Username" link.
Note, I'm not vouching for or responsible for whatever may
end up happening to your computer and/or life if you try
those instructions (not that I have any reason to think they
won't work fine :-) ).  Note also that the instructions say
the guy's book has "several ways" to change the short
username.
