Was it my typos :-D ? Neil can hopefully say more on that. Once I asked him
and said :

Neil was referring to copying files The same problem exists when you install
a new AIM and slightly change your options (such as the directories). The
question, quizzes .m files have paths and emails and passwords stored in
them and if you copy them along then AIM fails to find them ... That is if
you want to keep your questions you just have to use your previous settings
(I have a feeling that even your password needs to be the same) then as usal
run Make that will create index.html etc and then unhide the subjects that
will apper at the admin page.

Maybe I am wrong in some of these...
