My working hypothesis is that the first in each of the following pairs is the more correct one, but advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

in EEnvironment.java:

/* Become persistifiable, maybe */

        myStableStoreManager =
            new StableStoreManager(props.getProperty("e.CheckpointFile"),
                                   myPassphrase,
                                   true);

in CheckpointPassphraseVerifier.java:

String checkpoint = myProps.getProperty("e.Checkpoint");

in EEnvironment.java: 

      /* Turn on the comm system... */
      myProxyManager = new ProxyManager(myRootStateBundle.vatIdentity,
                                        searchPath,
                                        myRootStateBundle.registrationTable,
                                        getProperty("e.ListenAddress"));

now in ConnectionsManager.java: 

        //Create the listen thread
        if (null == listenAddress) {
            //XXX Commented out by MarkM.  Bill?  Chip?
            //listenAddress = System.getProperty("ListenAddress");

            if (null == listenAddress) {
                //Listen on any available port
                listenAddress = "localhost:0";
            }
        }


---------------------------

still in EEnvironment.java:

/* Make sure there's a search path to us */

        String flattenedSearchPath = props.getProperty("e.SearchPath",
                    //XXX Default is a hack for testing under Cafe
                    "localhost:4567;localhost:4568");

used to be in ConnectionsManager.java: 

     //XXX should use the e properties object (as held by the EEnvironment)
     myLocalFlattenedSearchPath = System.getProperty("SearchPath",
                 //XXX Default is a hack for testing under Cafe
                 "localhost:4567;localhost:4568");

-------------------------

Btw, even where I'm guessing correctly, it would be greatly reassuring to know this. Thanks in advance.
