oh yes! there is/was that bug... i resorted to hexediting the config file
IIRC when i was using/testing those... i had forgotten all about that
one... in my case, i did what i found obvious... i put !'s for the [ and ]
and since it was only a couple of paths that i was doing this on, i only
had one or two places to hexedit...

i guess it should be mentioned that one should be careful when using an
older FESETUP due to new capabilities/settings that may get
overwritten/lost with new config files...
