[ddots-l] Re: More about cleaning up

Kevin:
you can rename the project and the folder where the project is. but always 
leave the audio folder on the same folder where the cwp file is. and sonar 
will find the wave data. if for some reason this does not happen , a dialog 
will appear where you can browse for the audio and you have many options for 
deciding how you want sonar to manage the audio.
