A Big Thank You to everybody who chimed in with valuable
suggestions on this issue.    I finally got to looking at
that 'clean' Python script, and that was somewhat scary to
contemplate.    I previewed and then ran it at level 1,
and it did the trick, and I now have CS3 release version
running successfully.

I chuckled at the final line of the script:

     'press Enter to exit':

But, as various list people said, this is no way to 'support'
products.    Adobe have never really come to terms with UNIX,
as anybody who has ever battled their TranScript build procedures
will attest . . .

     Cheers,
         ........  Henry
