RE: [misterhouse-users] What am I doing wrong?

steve - have you set up your own code_dir entry in your ini? if you keep all of your personal files out of the MH path, you'll be protected from over-writes. the exact details are 
covered at the end of the install.html (or install.txt). when MH starts up, it'll automatically add all of the files in your code_dir to its loop. you can play around with example code by 
moving it in and out of your code_dir and reloading MH.
